I agree that the 952 is a good derailleur, same with the m951 and m960 (the best-looking xtr derailleur), but now you have to buy one used with 5000 miles on it and scratched all to crap on eBay for $80 plus shipping and then replace the old sticky jockey wheels for another $18 plus change. It'd be nice to have another option that will continue to be produced. I personally don't care much about rapid rise or not. I am not one to notice small details like that and tend to adapt quickly to subtle differences. I've got both on different bikes, and after a shift or two (friction shifters), I adjust, and it doesn't bother me either way.
