Is there much difference between the deore and xt hollow tech 2 bottom brackets and is it worth paying extra for the xt bb? (£10 extra on chain reaction).

Are there any alternatives worth considering for a similar price?

Thanks

Someone(Think it was Onzadog) stripped a recent Deore and commented on the sealing.Apparently, the sealing arrangement on the Deore isn't the same/as good as the XT.Could try searching his past history for more details.

Currently riding a combo cups of Deore LHS and XT RHS, no issue so far after 3 months of pretty heavy use in all weathers, my last LX lasted about 4 months of all weather use.
