That may be partially true however, beyond the "feel" there's also the fact that the derailleur actually shifts into the gear I want it to shift into when I press one of the levers; something my XTR derailleurs almost never did with any kind of regularity.
The only reason anyone can argue the merits of XTR vs. X.0 is likely because they've never used both...period. It's kind of like comparing a Hyundai to a BMW; they're simply not comparable other than to say they both have wheels and engines!
