I got a long cage mech as part of a bundle of parts and am wondering about using it as part of a 1x11 (11-42) setup.

I know that i only need a medium cage for this but, aside from being a few grams heavier, giving a few mm less ground clearance and possible bouncing round a bit more (i'm guessing the clutch will essentially sort this out) are there any downsides to this? Would shifting performance be affected?
