Question really is as the title -Ltwoo GRT vs Sensah SRX Pro - which is the best of the Chinese 12s Hydro 1x groupsets that can handle at 50T cassette

A few years into each of these being out the the world what's everyones opinion on each as is the answer still to spend 3x the amount on a 105/GRX setup? I can find either of the above for around £160 including shifter's and derailleur as have the calipers, cranks, chain and cassette already.

LTWOO GRT is still thumb lever, and Sensah SRX is SRAM-style doubletap. So I don't really consider them comparable.

The closest thing to Shimano-style shifting is... LTWOO RX Pro with GR9 rear derailleur? Which ends up ~60% the cost compared to Shimano R7120 (idk UK prices)? Questionable value prop

I had the grt for a year and it performed flawlessly, just upgraded to eGR for no good reason really...

I've now found a R7120 and GRX 822 combo for £220 total after a few vouchers have been applied so really not that much more than the RX pro and GRX derailleur combo so probably gonna go with that

I replaced 11s 2x GRX on my Revolt with 1x eGR. Best thing I have done to a bike. It will run a 12s 10-51 on the back combined with a 44t narrow/wide chainring. I use a 10-45 on the butumen. It is tight in the 51 but it does it. Set the chain length by going as long as it would go in the 10t.
