The cool thing about the 801 is that it has 74 BCD holes as far out as where the inner chainring sits (I think): http://www.suginoltd.co.jp/english/ox801d_main_english.htm (A little hard to tell from the website, but if you look at the left- most bolt hole in the third photo you can see that a 74 BCD ring would replace the inner ring; i.e. this is not a triple.)
So you can replace the inner 110 BCD ring with a 74 BCD ring and run a wide range double with an inner ring down to 24 teeth. A pretty cool idea, and if they make an XD2/XD600 variant like this, I'll buy it in a heartbeat. As far as what's available now, I'd rather get the VO TA copy; cheaper and prettier IMO.
