I'm tempted to just go with the Sugino OX901D and be done with it. It is soooo pretty.

I agree, they really are pretty. One thing a bit different about them is that you really do need to retighten the compression plug after you tighten the crank bolts. On my shimano cranks, the compression plug is pretty much just used to tension the cranks before tightening the bolts, and I have never had the crank arm loosen or move outboard after torqueing the crankarm bolts to spec, whether I tightened the compression plug afterwards or not. However, on the Sugino, I found that if you don't tighten the compression plug snugly after you tighten the crank bolts, the crank arm can move out. I had it happen today while riding and re-read the Sugino instructions and tightened the compression plug afterwards as they recommended.
