Would you buy XTR bottom bracket?

Unless I'm very much mistaken you have to use an XTR octalink-type BB if you're going to run M95x cranks. Alternative is Dura-Ace (just as pricey).
Any other Octalink doesn't fit properly and is likely to bugger your cranks up.
The original M950 BB was rebuildable but was a right faff to do. It has ball bearings and needle rollers in it that kept rolling under the fridge (I know from experience....) The more recent sealed ones were better if you were bog snorkelling regularly.

No I would not as I only have square taper cranks.
UN90/91 on the other hand are lighter than the 7x equivalents and mine is still going strong 18 years later

+2 for Hope if we are talking external BB's 
Actually would you buy anything XTR over say XT ( I love SRAM X9 and X0 shifters and rear mechs) :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
