Is there much difference between a pair of Deore M610 shifters and a pair of SLX M 670 shifters both 10 speed?

I have bikes equipped with both. Bugger all in terms of feel or shifting performance. Only differences are visual, or possibly require scales to quantify.

Shifting quality is mainly influenced by the cables, and how 'worn' the rear mech may be. If you can, and it's not much extra, go SLX as they will be slightly lighter

SLX will probably have removable gear indicators and adjustable bar clamps. Mine SLX do, but not sure which version they are

This is true, the deores gear indicators aren't removable, although they're pretty slimline anyway.

Cheers boys.
The reason I asked was, I took some deore shifters of my Trek Superfly 5 but wanted to change the sram X5 and X7 derailers on my Ex-Caliber 8 but need to change the shifters to shimano as well.
So as they were free from the Superfly I thought I might use them.
