Turbo Levo drivetrain upgrade options/suggestions

[Berzrkr]

Well I posted this on FB, but as usual it turned into a debate and pissing contest and alot of criticism instead of people actually helping, so here we are...
I have a new Turbo Levo, and on my 2nd significant ride, I bent a tooth on the SRAM NX Eagle cassette. Unfortunately I was out of town at the time. I took it to an LBS, and they didn't want to start a warranty claim because it would take a couple weeks to finish and I wouldn't be there. So I just had them replace the cassette. I have the original and I'll try to warranty it on my own.
In the meantime, I've been shopping around... with gift cards I can get a Shimano CUES linkglide cassette and a Deore Linkglide derailleur and shifter for free. These will play nice with each other, right?
My other option is to get the CUES cassette and the Wheeltop EDS electronic shifter. I have $325 in gift cards, so that much would come off the total purchase. What would you do?? Is there anything else I need, or will either of these options swap out pretty seamlessly on the Levo?

Get the linkglide. I run just a bog standard deore 10 speed on mine and works fine. Cheap to replace too.

If 10-speed Linkglide have enough gearing for you, I`d go to that too.

I'd suggest just take the cassette apart and bend the gear back straight with a vice/hammer

That really isn't the question. I'm definitely getting the Linkglide cassette no matter what. Does it bolt onto the Levo or is there anything else I'd need?

For CUES it seems to be fine. But If you want to use 10-51 shimano 12 speed cassette you would need microspline freehub body for your rear hub.

And as far as I remember to get Linkglide bonuses you need also get shimano shifter, derailleur and chain, I think you would be okay with your old chain ring.

I've rode shimano SLX groupset, its fine but not really a significant upgrade from NX, get at least XT then. CUES seems like downgrade to me.

Nx is made of cheese! So just about anything will be better. Imo one of the best upgrades is a far superior chain.
X01 or XTR and your whole drivechain will last ages.
