Don, et al:
A learning curve of formidable amplitude is on my screen it seems. Thank you for the correction.
To clarify: My fuzzy recollection was version/versions of Duopar were not quite up to the bench mark performance established by the Duopar name and, that the Eco version was an underacheiver. So, 'tis a relief to be relieved of my misconception and simultaneously informed that I have the very mech. needed.

I am surprised that you do not think much of the huret duopar (either the eco steel model or the titanium model.) Frank Berto, who is a hero of mine, considers this to be the best-shifting derailleur of the early 1980's (better than Suntour VGT, although not as light as Suntour Cyclone, which are two of his other favorites.)
The super-weird SLJ derailleur on the header page of french components is probably the strangest thing i've ever seen from simplex :

I have never seen it in a catalogue. I have several used SX-410's (low-mid end, some with S starbursts like SLJ but not SLJ) with long cages, please write to me if you are interested in one ($18).
