Not at all trying to argue or pick a fight. Not at all an expert on bikes, just judging by my narrow experience. I am a gunsmith and a luthier by hobby, also I repair, service, and train on large offset web and sheetfed printing presses and grand format UV printers as part of my job. I only mention that because I am mechanically skilled and do have enough capacity to comprehend how a derailleur functions.
Perhaps I was just lucky with the MicroShifters because they shift very quickly and positively and feel secure and solid. Upshifting to smaller cogs is one click per shift every time. The Sora drivetrain when up shifting sometimes takes one click sometimes two. Moving from the middle of the cassette to the outside requires a couple of clicks worth of front derailleur movement to prevent rubbing. You have to pay attention to the sound of the chain going over the cassette because many times it seems as if it is "on the verge" of going to another cog. It will not hold on one gear for a long time, requires periodic trimming to stay in place. If the cable barrel is tightened any more it will not shift into the 11.
