I am going with a Sugino 110BCD crank for my touring bike and putting a Cyclone GT RD with a 32 tooth low FW . I have the parts so why not?

This was my "donor bike " I bought just for the wheels for my Raleigh Pro and now a source for getting low gearing on my touring bike
Why not indeed. Make the bike work for you! I use 110 bcd on my 720. It's a champ!
