You don't like the look of it? The only reason you should really buy a new sprocket is if you are changing the gearing of your bike (which you are not doing), or if you break it (which also didn't happen).

Or if its to heavy, or to fragile, any kind of 7075 aluminum sprocket would do unless you like to sprocket grind, and in a gearing of you likeing. It seems more and more people these days are gearing more like flatlanders. Smallest chain wheels/cogs and gearing as possible, while still maintaing a good gear ratio.
