Can anyone who has used, or still does, a Dura Ace rear derailleur for XC MTB racing share their experiences... I'm thinking of a switch... Your thoughts are much appreciated...

Currently running -
DA7800 rear mech (10 speed Dura Ace)
48.36.26 (XT crankset) x 11-23 DA (9 speed)
9 speed XTR/DA chain.
previously ran 44.32.22 x 11-23
I was able to climb anything.
48.36.26 x 11-23 is just a stretch too far for me.
Likely I will settle on 11-27 x 48.36.26 (I do a lot of road miles too)
At the same time consider running a KMC 10 speed chain to shed 40g!
dont forget a road cassette alows you to run a shorter chain and loose soem grams
