I am in the market for a new 2x10 groupset, am I wasting my money on XT when SLX is so good?

SLX rear mech has a steel cage and uses bushes for jockey bearings, versus alloy and sealed ceramic and cartridge bearings.
Minor weight difference of approx 40g.
SLX use steel chainring bolts, XT use alloy TX30.
Cassettes very similar weight, but XT has more on the spider to prevent digging in an alloy freehub.
XT or better every time.
