Save yerself some cash and just buy XT. They're a bit more fragile but a Saint goes sloppy at exactly the same rate as an XT (if not faster). If you break an XT, then you can buy another one and still be up on the deal.

Really unimpressed with my Saint. All the main pivots went wobbly in about 2 months, and I had to bugger around shimming the whole lot out to make it shift properly. 18 months on, and it's completely dead - the pivot the cage moves on has about 3mm of slop (bottom jockey wheel can move over a cm side to side) and the spring that tensions it keeps popping out, losing the chain tension. Compared to the second hand XOs I've had which cost the same amount, but are 4+ years old and still rocksolid, they're pretty poor value.
