the cost of Eagle cassettes is insane. Short of needing the different hub driver, tell me why this won't work/is a bad idea.
can you use an XT 12-sp cassette with a SRAM drivetrain?

My research has shown that you can. The only funny thing are Shimano chainrings - so if you don't have one, you're good.
I too went the long route of swapping to a microspline driver, because paying for $300 GX cassettes is no good. I'm also not onboard with paying +$600 for XO cassette, even if it lasts longer.

I traded a set of dt x1900 wheels for one of my extra X0 cassettes.
Not sure who got the better part of that deal.

Can generally find X0 Eagle cassettes for ~$250, which yes is still too much and a chunk more than XT. But much better than retail and I think the X0's are supposed to last a bunch longer?
e.g. this place will accept an offer of $240

i've had zero problems doing so. xt cassette and cranks and x01 chain.
Why on earth would you do that? The magic in the XT shifting is the combo of the cassette and chain. I would also run a shimano chain, and just use an Eagle masterlink, that is the only thing that can be a little funky with a nog HG+ chainring.
You will thank me.

11 speed crawled back into it's clunky, slow shifting hole. 
srsly, that's a STEAL.
well looks like I missed the boat. HECK!
