Is there any differences between these shifters? I've got both and I don't really want to change to the XT shifters if they aren't better. I can't see any differences from what I have read.

Thanks for your help.

    lots of difference.one is one of the cheaper shifters and the other is the second best.

    XT is lighter, lasts longer and has a more postive 'feel' - less clunky.

    Ok cool its just they seemed to have the same features and as the M751 is the old XT (aren't they on M770 now?) i Thought maybe the features had trickled down.

    Thanks.
