I like the Cospea very much. It is gorgeous and works great. I also have a double / triple from DaVinci which is about the same price and is also a great crank. It is actually made by White Ind. and has the advantage of fitting on a pretty short BB, so you can save some money by keeping your current BB. That said, the velo orange version of the Sugino crank looks very good, a step up from the XD2 but not nearly as expensive as the other two. Both the Cospea and and the White are lower Q than the XD2, which I also appreciate. Happy shopping.
