Thinking of upgrading my old SRAM gx 1000 to SLX as i have had this before on my old Spectral and loved it. Any user experiences? Is it worth the extra £70 or so to go to XT?

Sack it, go the whole hog and get XTR shifters and mechs

I've just got SLX 11 speed on the new bike, moving from XTR 10 speed on the old bike. SLX feels great in comparison - can't see any need for anything else.

Only thing to note is the branding on the cranks rubs off really easily - mine is virtually gone after 70 miles.

Do those Slikgraphics thingamibobs work to keep them looking like new?

Yes. Although they can delaminate and allow dirt to ingress underneath the top layer but the cranks themselves will remain box fresh.
