I don't really care about appearance, but of course I do not want to mess up the chain line or the shifting. So perhaps 4 thin spacers would be necessary; that is a worry for the future.
pics of the 810 (top) and 600 (bottom) cranks

can see the difference in the chainring thickness near the mounting area / holes - and how the chainring arm mounts down into the machined recess in the chainring

810 is a much higher quality crank - including the big chainring

600 crank is marketed as 105 level and often described in this manner (possibly also by Shimano?) - but it’s a significant step down from the 810 and is more similar to Tiagra level imo
