Difference between XTR M900 and M901 front derailleurs?

Saw something that the M901 uses "endless band" mounting. What is that? Are both models compatible with a '93 Klein Attitude?

M901 is top pull,
M900 is bottom pull.
 
The endless band version has -EC on the end
e.g. FD-M900-EC
else they come in all three sizes, you'll need to specify it though


oh I'll add some pictures :)

hmmm....so what's the diff between the FD-900 and FD-901 of the same 34.9mm size (both non EC versions)? The drawings look the same to me but it's late over here in CA
 
Look carefully at where bolt '3' goes in (ignore the EC version), it's where the top or bottom pull difference is, the 'lever arm'
 
Just to be sure ;)
