Fair enough @Dustin, but as Andrew mentioned, this is the big pain in the ass with 12speed.
SRAM might say "LoWeR wEiGhT" - sure, and I guess there's more teeth to spread the wear but just take a look at people's cassettes and the majority (read: average joe) will still have the most wear on that 50t pie plate.
~ 2 Deore cassettes for the price of 1 GX, 4 for the price of 1 X01
Not only do you get more cassettes, the pie plate is steel. I think it's relatively safe to assume that you will get a longer lifespan out of something that's ultimately a consumable.
