Re: [RBW] Recommendations for a front derailer on a compact double?

I've had thousand of trouble free miles on a Shimano 105. My compact is
50/34

 I just set up my Sam with a 48/34 White Industries crankset and I need a

 triple) to work with it. I've not been thrilled with the Mirage anyhow, so
 I want to get a new derailer that is ideal for a double.

 I am thinking Shimano XT would be the best bet, but there are so many
 models, I don't know which to pick (or if there is something better at a
 similar price). Can any of you running double cranksets recommend a good
 choice for me?

 Many thanks!
