As per topic, any old school gravity assisted types able to suggest anything?
 
Short Cage XTR or 105 was the old school choice, short to keep it out the way and a normal action to ensure a nice whip down the gears
 
That's what I remember too, short cages were par for the course either XTR or road bits like Dura Ace etc. And some also stuck to 8speed for quite a long time after the introduction of 9v.

Some of us are still using 8sp, but yes M950 or 105 if money is tighter

Find me some at a good price and i'll think about it :)

In the mean time, I cant seem to find reference to a shortcage M95X series RD, only mid & long?
