small detail, but doesn't look like the DS crank has had the sharp edges (from top of arm to the spider) smoothed out to eliminate the notorious "stress risers" that can lead to cracking.

I'd reco you do that, it doesn't take long with a few files, I find the kind sold for chainsaw sharpening followed by a good needle file is all I needed.
Most rat-tail files are too big a diameter for the job, IMO.

If you have never done it, I'm sure someone here has shared a "how-to" post if you search the archives. Never a 100% guarantee that a given Campy crank won't crack afterwards, but it's cheap insurance FWIW.
