Noting that NX isn’t my first choice on any budget and until GX I’m always two thumbs up in for a Shimano or MS rig, it’s still the same SX derailleur just with the plastic knuckle that broke if you stared at it replaced with an aluminum knuckle that breaks far less frequently and only if you stare at it really hard.
The shifting is still totally ‘meh’ although the 1-2 up shift is more consistent thanks to the stiffer package.
The real problem I think - now that the plastic derailleur is semi-sorted - with SX is asking it to precisely shift 12 gears. In my experience even NX is much better as an 8 or 9 speed platform.
