Not a fan of the XTR chains either. Bought one new on ebay for $32 shipped got rid of it in a week. Picked up a KMC SL9 at twice the price but works twice as nice, for me.
Incorrect, the pin pull strength of the KMC X9SL is 350 kgf while the SRAM PC-991 Hollowpin is 200 kgf. The KMC has 1.75x the strength of the SRAM in the area of almost every chain failure.
Right now, the XTR/Dura-Ace chain is $31 each and $85 for a pack of three ($28.33 each) at Chainreactioncycles.com
