F5 crankset opinions

Hello all, I've seen this chainring on many a crankset and have been wondering if, since my current crankset is utter trash, I should just get this. I know everyone loves this chainring so I figure the crankset they make for it can't be so bad. Am I wrong?

The chain ring is awesome, the cranks look good but aren't centered a 100% so you will have tight spots and the insides of the crank arms aren't smooth but for a budget crank they look good and perform just fine.
