For those of us in the US, check out Chain Reaction. I've got my pre-order in for the mechanical M9000 stuff for my wife's bike. Already received the cassette (gorgeous, but still not as nice as the SRAM stuff) and the shifter. Waiting for the brakes and the derailleur. *WAY* cheaper than the US based retailers. PricePoint mechanical RD: $238. Chain Reaction for the same one: $179. Yikes.
Had a great idea - have the 11 speed shifter and cassette - maybe this will work with the 10 speed derailleur! Just as I was about to start the experiment I realized I have the I-spec II shifter, which mounts to the brake lever. *rages* ;D
The new Di2 looks freaking amazing, but when your new parts make XX1 look budget, oh my. :D

So in your opinion the Sram cassette looks of higher quality than the XTR?
And yeah, 650$ for a deraileur is definitely out of my league!

I don't know if it looks higher quality - the XTR looks damn nice. But the SRAM being machined out of a single block of steel with the alloy largest cog, I think it looks cooler than the XTR. Plus, from what I've seen, the SRAM is quite a bit lighter. The XTR 11-40 comes in around 330g, and I think the SRAM is in the 260 range. Easy enough to confirm with a little searching but I'm lazy. :D

The new cassette has a carbon fiber carrier for the biggest gears. The 40t is also aluminum, then the next six are titanium, with the smallest three being steel. Definitely not low quality:
