Michael , FWIW have you seen Sugino's Alpina 2 and Mighty Tour cranks ? Both of these are normal five bolt pattern(no silly hidden bolt). If you are not everse to ordering overseas the "top of the line square taper" Mighty Tour is in your price range . You can get just the arms or a complete with your choice of premium rings. These are made with a stronger aluminum than the Alpina 2 or XD. Alex's is well known and cetainly reliable store in Japan.
