This. You're WAY overthinking the problem. In this application, 110 BCD is 110BCD.
Stop by your LBS. Bring Beer. As to look in the takeoff/junk bin. Find a 34-36 tooth 110BCD ring. Leave with said ring after sub $10 negotiated price (possibly free due to beer). You may even leave with a whole crankset with rings.
