I will be very surprised if that SRAM Red cassette lasts anywhere near as long as an Ultegra cassette. I saw one in person today... it is machined out of a single piece of steel whereas the cogs on a Shimano cassette are forged, which should make the Shiimano cassette much stronger and more durable.

You'll remember that Ultegra cassette, and just thinking about the added weight, will be the straw that breaks the Camel's back,the physical and pschological burden will make you crack and keep you from pulling through for victory.
And there you'll be knowing that you're a cheapskate poser wannabe, that could have been a contender had you not cheaped out.

the SRAM red cassette is first forged, then milled. Link: https://www.roadcyclinguk.com/news/article/mps/uan/2565
. If they sell well this is the perfect kind of item for us to add on at my current company. We have the capability and currently do a similar part. Maybe we'll use up some open capacity by making bike parts...
.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*wipes tear from eye* That was funny.

After reading the article the face plate seems to be Aluminum. The noise that was mentioned while riding in the largest cog could be caused by the fact that the largest gear tooth forms are directly "above" where the AL plate is pressed in. It could be possible that parts of the chain plates are in contact with that AL plate resulting in a different gear mesh sound making it sound like it is rubbing, or otherwise more noisy than other gear combos.
...just a thought.

The 10s-Only Shimano wheels have deeper splines that are incompatible with SRAM 10s cassettes and all 9s/8s cassettes.

Spline depth of 10spd only Shimano freehubs is much deeper than the Shimano 8-9-10 freehubs. Allowed for use of Aluminum freehub bodies without as much notching.
The SRAM Red cassette seems to have the shallower 8-9 spline allowing it to be used on any Shimano freehub body except the deeper 10 spd specific ones.
