The NR plates provide a better shift on the smaller cogs, and they're thicker, so they don't flex nearly as much, either.

Hi all, have you ever tried to bend one by hand, I just tried both, and if they flex during use I'll eat my Galli cap, by the time they would be bolted up with pullies and an inner pully cage plate it would be a very strong unit, i would suspect the flex would more than likely be wear in all the pivots and side wear in the pullies, as you do get a slightly better change when using C record pullies correctly adjusted, just my views, always open to debate and to be proven incorrect......wayne davidson Invers NZ.......
