XTR might last a bit longer but costs a lot more. XTR has a Ti bolt, "sealed" bearing jockey wheels and Teflon coated pivot pins. XT uses bushings in the jockey wheels which might require a bit more maintenance. XTR definitely has the bling bling chi chi factor going for it.

mechanically xt 04 (760) is identical to 03 xtr(960) and I don't think Shimano introduced anything new for 04.Both are rapid rise,
xt is twice heavier and half of the price of xtr. I got 760 and it
works fine for me , keep in mind they both have reverse shifting
which may feel weird at the begining.
