Have to strongly disagree regarding the clutch. IRL shifting action gets noticeably lighter when the clutch is completely disengaged or, as I prefer it, detuned. Clutch tuning and serviceability remaining the key benefits of Shimano’s clutched rear derailleurs.
(This seems to be especially noticeable on some full-suspension designs, presumably due to the interplay between the drivetrain and suspension).
