I'm in this position right now. The bike I picked up was all shiny srammy eagles and everything was bliss but now I'm looking down the wrong end of $370+tax for just a cassette and chain. Compared to $326 for 6100 cassette, chain and XT shifter. BUT that also means another $140 for a microspline freehub which puts me into expense but means that the next cassette/chain will break even for me. As long as it all plays well with the X01 dub cranks I have.
