This model should not be tightened heavily onto the seat tube, else the hinge-tab on the front plate tends to break off.

Better to tighten moderately, then re-torque moderately after the first ride, after the clamp and paint have perhaps conformed to each other's presence.

Good derailer function-wise, as Chombi has said. You can even buy new replacement decals for the outer link on Ebay.
