IMHO, not much of an upgrade, and not worth the cost.
And unless you're flexing the crank to the point that its rubbing on the derailleur, or dropping the chain, getting a stiffer crank is highly overrated.
Exactly why I'm converting my old school bikes to Campy 10 by way of Chorus square taper cranks from a couple of years ago. Can't beat the prices.
The loose ball BBs can be adjusted soooo smoothly. How do the older square taper cartridge BBs compare ?
