The point is only that your Zen ring won't be any more precise than these other rings once covered in mud and street grime. It's designed with the track in mind and you'll wear the nitride coating away pretty fast. Once 'broken' in, you're not getting any more from this ring than others. If it's just style points, then go for it, but don't expect much more performance.
Also, any 144BCD track chainring works with S75s. I picked up a black 44RN ring mostly for style

That sounds fair. Very very fair. Thanks again. I has many decisions to make.
