Ahh, much better

I finally got around to swapping on the new rear derailler on my bike last night. It's shifting properly again. When the original one went bad, it went quite bad quite quickly, in just a couple of weeks. I was having to overshift in both directions at the end, and the drivetrain was getting pretty noisy. Now when I click it into a gear, it just quickly and quietly goes to that gear, like it's supposed to.

It's funny how you can get used to quirky equipment if it goes bad over a period of time. The overshifting wasn't really bothering me, but now that I have the properly working kit on there, I'm wondering why the old one wasn't bothering me more than it did.
