That said, the SX is still a much lower price point than even Deore, so it's not quite an even comparison. (EDIT: it appears I was mistaken and was thinking of the Deore full groupset cost (w/cranks, etc.) So any price difference is negligible).
I'll also just add that I recently refreshed my SRAM drivetrain (X01 shifter/cassette (10-50)/chain, GX Lunar rear der), and I don't know if it was the change to the x01 cassette or the new Lunar der, but the shifting is notably smoother and better overall. I'd like to think the Lunar stuff sram put out actually has some performance gains from the new spring and also rearranged parallelogram.
