I wish they hadn`t done that hidden bolt thing. I don`t think availability of 74-110 will be an issue anywhere. IMO, the shops all stock every bolt diameter you need... except in the tooth count you want

Nice looking bike. Either of those cranks would look like it belonged there, and either one will work just as well as the other and should last plenty long. If the prices for each are similar, and I imagine they are, just go for the one that agrees best with your eyeball. Asthetics is going to be the biggest difference.
(Especially if one of them happens to have a cool crown logo!)
