My modern Campagnolo cranks are all from the 5 arm era, but they are carbon fiber and they also look like the new 4 arm cranks.
I went with Campagnolo because I find them intuitive, unlike brake levers that wobble or two clicks to shift down...
As a post script: Shimano are alloy, Campagnolo are carbon. The Hirth joint? Shimano copy? You are kidding?
