Pricepoint has a goodish deal on 05 x9 rear derailleurs. What is the diff between 05 and 06? Anything that is worth a $20-$25 difference in price?

I could care less about 07, lightweight, carbon, yadda yadda, as this is on my FR bike and derailleurs come and go quickly under this application.

thanks guys!

I'm in the same boat. I just busted the X.9 on my VPX. I opted for the X.7 for $45 and a NSB Hanger Banger.

i just bought the X.9 off pricepoint. midcage being the key reason i didn't get an X.7.

Don't tell me you found a midcage X.7... ?

blah...i totally missed that on pricepoint. oh well, i guess X.9 will add some middle-class "bling" to my working-class 7point.
