Now that the Atlantis is built by Waterford in Wisconsin, it's

Without disregarding the financial impact, that $320 difference is 10% of a

My favorite "bargain" cranks are Shimano's FC-R4550. At one point, I had three
of them in service, but I'm down to just two sets (I sold one of the bikes).
The 4550s are non-series components, and can be purchased quite cheaply online.
The inner (34t) chainring has proved to be quite durable
If you're running a 36t rear cog, just go with a current-vintage SRAM or
Shimano unit. Sure, it won't be all-silver, but you also won't have to worry
about poor shifting, etc.
FWIW, the euro LX is quite heavy, and the stamped/bent steel pieces can develop
slop quicker than all-alloy units.
