Nope.
If it were XT level componentry, I'd say it's probably okay. You can get Acera, Deore level crap to perform really, really well initially...but what sets upper level componentry apart (besides that "extra" precision feel) IMO is the fact that it works well for a long time. Lower level stuff works well...but only for a short time.
Then it starts skippin', poppin...Humpin', funkin', jumpin',
jig around, shakin' ya rump,
and when the dude a chump pump points a finger like a stump
tell him step off, I'm doin' the Hump.
