in your opinion, would DT 240 hubs be worth the extra over 350s?
For me, no, and I feel the same way about upgrading to sram t-type, carbon rims, boutique suspension, other high engagement hubs, etc. Even if I had an unlimited bike-money credit card, I still don't think I'd want it. I just don't see much (if any) benefit to the actual experience of riding the bike. And if my bike was much nicer I'd be embarrassed to be seen on it hitting the B lines on the way down and coughing and wheezing on the pedal up.
But - there's a lot of folks parked at the trails with cars that are blowing through an AXS derailleur's worth of depreciation every week, which constantly highlights to me that my personal sweet spot on the price/performance bell curve is well to the left of a lot of others, and (most importantly) people can spend their own money on whatever the fuck they want. I'll happily buy their "old" gear on Facebook for 80% off
