I've just got some M785 XT Brakes and now looking to get some matching shifters, the cost is adding up and i've noticed the 2012 stuff actually came out last spring. It doesn't look like Shimano always follows a yearly pattern but im new to all this. Shall I just get some 780 shifters, they seem to have a lot of features or is there likely to be 2013 stuff announced in the next couple of months?

    XT's just been revamped. IMO shifters are where to spend the money. SLX is an option for other things

    New Shimano stuff normally appears in May. However, given that a full groupset only costs £340 (£500 with brakes) at the moment you'd have to convince me that waiting for the 2013 stuff was worth it. The only thing I would want over the 2012 would be the clutch mech, but thats not worth paying top whack alone. You could just get that for not much more than you'd sell the old mech for.
