Calling Campy Bottom Bracket Experts....(m)

Guys,
Am currently running a Campy Veloce 115.5mm bottom bracket on my bike and am considering upgrading it shortly. BTW it has performed pretty well. Would like to upgrade to Campy Chorus or Record when I switch but the rub is many know that have played with Campy BB's that the Chorus and Record cranksets have a slightly different offset then Xenon, Mirage, Veloce and Centaur. The rub is if I want to put my Veloce triple crankset on a Chorus or Record BB, the longest spindle offered with Chorus/Record triple BB's 111mm. (102mm for double) This represents a 4.5mm difference or my Veloce triple kchainrings would be mounted 4.5 mm...about 1/4 inch more inboard I believe with the 111mm Chorus/Record triple BB spindle length. What do you think guys?...will this hurt my shifting integrity on the extreme sides of the rear 10s cassette by changing the chain line?
Is my only option then but to upgrade my triple crankset if I want to run a better Campy BB or does anyone have another suggestion.
Thanks for any experience.
George
