Hubs, Sprockets and Bottom Brackets

Greetings.

I intend to reward myself with a Surly Steamroller, hopefully this coming spring.
It only takes money.

Anyway, this represents my first experience with a fixie, and since we don't have anyone in my community who rides a fixie, I've had to figure it out for myself.
Scary, eh?

I'd like to go with a Miche Primato Pista group, mostly because Miche's hub adapter system seems to make it much easier and safer to change sprockets.
I've come accross several references on these types of forums regarding difficulty getting sprockets off after they've forge-welded (mild exaggeration) themselves on to the hub.
The Miche system seems like a good way around the problem.

So, does the problem even exist?
Or, have I picked the Miche group to solve a non-problem?
This enquiring mind wants to know.

I'll save my Bottom Bracket question for later, but perhaps someone who has experience with the Miche Primato Pista group can read my mind and answer my question before I ask it.
