I was looking into order that as well, but I figure you'd have the same problem with the non square tapered BB. The matching RD BB is pretty cheap though, but the combo apparently gives a 45mm chainline which some people have apparently found problematic so I decided it would be best to go for the better cranks anyway. Hopefully somebody else more knowledgable can help out.

My cranks came pretty scratched up so I might just see about trying to buff out some of the scratches first, so I suppose that will end up being the first thing to go.
In terms of the RD Cranksset. Many people run the chainring on the inside of the spider to shave a few mm and get closer to the 42mm chainline. Tons of info on these subject thru the search function. Don't look as good this way, but it will make for a straighter chainline.
