I use the 6700RD with a 9x2 speed , closely spaced, HG cassette, the Connex 908 chain, and Silver DT shifters on my Ram. This may be the best shifting I have ever had, including SIS. it's not obvious to me that 10 speed offers recreational riders enough advantage to justify the added cost and reduced durability. A 7x3 set up should also work beautifully.
