I thought only Shimano made derailleurs until I found Sram.
Sram prices are much higher. Are they that much better? Andy

Andy Prices are roughly comparable for competitive purposes/quality. SRAM doesn't make a Tourney level product. In my opinion SRAM makes absolute junk. The metals are too soft and they sure as hell have very poor machining. You should see how a SRAM road crank wore the off-side bearing oblong in less than a year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYsfe79zbc
