My advice - don't go there.
Very slight weight saving over XT but massively increased wear and some potential safety issues (google M980 XTR pedal failure). I have worn out 3 pairs of XTR M980s one of which the pedal body separated from the shaft. M960 may have fixed it but I'm not tempted to find out.
XT replacements have not had the wear or separation issues. Remember seeing one of the Cape Epic pro bikes wearing XT with caption 'XT pedals for increased reliability'
Nice bike BTW - what's the frame?
