Anyone have thoughts or want to persuade me towards another option?

Oh - and weight with the Red Shifters and Force RD should be 14.82lbs

So you're still taking a general swipe at the budget monster, eh? FWIW, I've used both my Force RD and my Rival RD with my Force shifters and the Force RD definitely seemed smoother.
