I was pointing out some differences.
My point wasn't that one crank was better or worse than the other. Just that one is proprietary, the other is generic. The OP was asking about differences. I pointed out some differences. Once again, the OP can decide for himself which one he wants.
And, once again, I wasn't trying to start a "flame Cannondale" war here.

Ok well either way you look at the BB issue you can't get a SI on either the 5 or the 9 (or the 8 for that matter), so it is really a moot point. My point was that if the SI WAS offered it would be a plus for the 9.
