Im looking at buying two full XT M785 groupsets like
[url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k407/a52115/xt-m785-no-brakes-groupset-2x10-speed-38-26-silver.html ]this[/url]

though it would seem like the one shown in the link above, everywhere doesn't include the new M785 rear mech as standard (including the clutch) and include the M780 (without clutch)
I've contacted a few places and they wont swap which is annoying..

has anyone spotted a full groupset for a reasonable price elsewhere?

I bought one in seperate bits from germany (mostly rose and bike-discount.de) and a few bits from UK suppliers,

Cheeper/same price as complete groupsets and got exactly what I wanted eg could cut corners where I felt it nesecary like a cheeper Zee mech (I wanted 1x10 and have a habit of mashing them), last years shifters (£20 cheeper and only wanted a rear one) etc. I even got some SP41 in colours other than grey!

Yes you can go with the smaller rear mech.
I run a 2x10 XTR setup with clutch rear mech and is the medium cage.
