I understand, and you make a good point; my point is that for a period correct restoration, you can't beat the Benelux even with a better period-correct derailleur. If you're not going to ride the bike, it doesn't matter if the Benelux doesn't work. If you're going to ride the bike, in my opinion, it makes more sense to 'upgrade' the derailleurs the way a ca. 1970 owner would have done; that's why I suggest Suntour. Of course that hypothetical 1970 owner might have gone Huret or Simplex or even Campy; but I think a 60's Suntour would be perfect. I also suggest, don't hurt the Benelux!
