Sometimes I feel like a broken record but, for any rear shifting problem that doesn't respond to normal tuneing, the first thing that I do is to check the derailleur hanger alignment.

Most of the time that solves the problem. Even if the hanger is straight, I have eliminated that as being a possibility. Unless you know the hanger alignment is right, you can spend a ton of time and money chasing down other possibilities.
