Good point.
Maybe it's cheaper to make the mold in the largest size then band saw the excess off and sand before painting? Or they can do the thing where there's an insert that gives you 3 different length options depending on how you turn it.
Also, Sugino knurled chainring bolts are probably less expensive than Dura Ace. I've used them as replacements for Dura Ace when I happen to break them.
$20 here:
