I have acquired a few and enjoy them when paired with the correct thumbshifter. To me, they're not inherently better than High Normal derailleurs, BUT because I always use my thumbshifters to shift the rear derailleur and keep them on the inside of my bars, the Low Normal/Rapid Rise keep me moving in the same direction regardless of whether it's a Right thumbshifter or a Left thumbshifter. I've used (and still have) a Deore, LX, XT & XTR. While the weight and appearance differ, I haven't seen a huge improvement in shifting from one to the other... I've got more RR derailleurs than bikes at this point (and love my High Normal XTR) so if you'd be into a well loved LX or really good shape Deore, I'd be happy to sell one for $50 shipped.
