I bought a Mountech recently which does have solid cage plates, even
though the installation instructions packed with it boast about the
cage being open on one side to allow you to remove the chain without
disassembly (I ignored the instructions and unscrewed the jockey pulley
to put the chain on). The Japanese manufacturers seem able to change
their designs faster than their marketing people can assign new names
and numbers to them.
