I'm generally a form follows function type of person too, but when given the option, I figured why not! I had originally selected blue plates and orange pulley wheels, but figured that would be too much!!!
re the clutch, I thought about it after my second ride, but haven't done it yet. I should have thought of it while I had the cover off during the installation. But I'm not sure it's the derailleur bouncing around as much as the chain oscillating between the pulley wheels and the chainring.
another point worth mentioning is that this system is quieter than what I had before (XO1 cassette, KMC chain, black spire snaggletooth ring). part of it may be that I'm not constantly parked on the largest cog and my chainline is better, but I think their chainring runs very quietly.
