If he searched the new world wide web he might have more luck, the internet and Google are a little old and needs an update, just like 10 speed.

I don't know what happened, I must have started at Merlin and moved away from Aus suppliers.

Your profile Sig should have given it away! I have a paddle, it's called my foot, happy to acquaint you with it.

Stick with 10 speed across the fleet. I recently swapped my XT m780 derailleur for a Deore M5120 so I could go 11-46 and it’s ace.
If you’re satisfied with your setup, just throw Deore 10sp 11-46 on the wife’s bike with a 30 or 32T chainring. M5120 is $70 at Pushys, 11-46 Sunrace from Ali is ~$100, Deore shifter from Ali or locally. All up shouldn’t be too expensive.

$49.99 from George's bike shop in WA. Spend over $100 and express shipping costs $1
Edit: it's a pretty agricultural looking derailleur but the price is right.

Aha nice find!
Would there be a noticeable shift quality between the M5100 and M7000 rear derailleur?

Couldn't say. I've only had a m785 10sp XT derailleur and I'm yet to change to the m5120.

I'm thinking there wouldn't be much in it and not noticeable to me. Plus the 5100 gives me the option of an 11-51T cassette, although the SLX 11-46T looks more tempting.

As a mere mortal, the important thing to me is "Does it shift nicely? Can I pedal up that hill? Will the chain stay on?" The rest makes sweet FA difference to my ride and goes unnoticed.
Personally I use cheaper derailleurs because they are more prone to damage. Between myself, the husband and the brother in law, we've had to replace a few!
10 speed would streamline your spares requirements. But if you want to dip your toes in the realm of 11 speed, just do it. 10 and 11 speed work well and are fairly budget friendly.
TL,DR just get some new parts already!

In my opinion, the m5120 feels nicer paired with m780 shifter than the 786 derailleur with RAD cage it replaced. Both ran on Sunrace cassettes.

Bit dirty I didn’t go hunting around. That is an awesome price. I agree it’s agricultural but it’s just a derailleur. I only look at it when I’m adjusting gears or cleaning it. As long as it’s blends in with the rest of the drivetrain, I don’t care.

I'm really surprised at the price difference between retailers, tbh. It's not just a few dollars.
You mentioned the m5120 in this thread and I figured I'd see what George's bike shop had compared to the usual suspects.
Totally agree about looking at it! If does what it says on the box, I'm good.

No. Shifter makes more of a difference.

Bugger George finished the $1 express post yesterday.
He has good prices on brakes and rotors too though!
