Specialized Crux OSBB with Shimano's Hollowtech type crankset

Hello all, I'm thinking that I will put a shimano FC-R700 crank on my new crux. I was wondering if the process to make the two compatible is worth the trouble. According to the specialized website, I would need circlips, 6806 bearings, and a wheels mfg. BB30 shim. Is this correct, and is this a practical and reliable option?

Thanks for your help!

Chad
