I've seen several M950 front mechs with the inside cage face almost worn through, so I can't help but think there must have been a fundamental flaw in the design.
There's blooming loads like that on eBay right now.

Not a flaw, but a feature of lightweight nickel plated alloy.
Aka they get worn down. They are not good old steel like the normal mech.
Although the marketing says it is to reduce wear, I can only assume that's a play on 'wear' and means the alloy part isn't ripped apart on the first few rides, and not comparing it to the steel mechs ;-).
Hinged is 'differential plate design' , given all the mechs have hinges I suppose.
I think Shimano sorted the problem in the good old fashioned, by a replacement plate spare part.

Here’s a photo from the eBay ad of what’s on its way. The outer and inner plates look like chrome plated steel, is the inner one actually nickel plated alloy?
Don't get me wrong, I really do,but m950 and m953 mix would not even have me twitching.
