I used to run Shimano freehubs for a long time, after a year with DT (+ XT 11-46 ) my freehub was so damaged that I had a problem removing the smallest cogs, they made a 1mm deep grooves and literally jammed into the freehub. Not sure why, but is is so bad that I will not run a traditional cassette on this freehub anymore ... I am all for cheaper cassettes and thus trying to avoid 12s anyway, my only gripe is about freehub damage.
You said you would not worry about this when running LG700, why exactly? Is has exactly the same interface for the 3 smallest cogs.
