Shadow vs Tree.

I'm looking for a new chainwheel and it's between a Shadow Crowgora or a Tree Sprocket.

I'm going to be running 28/10 and using a Interlock 2 chain. I dont do sprocket stalls, thus I dont need my S&M guard, plus it's to big and doesnt work with my chain anyways.

Obviously the tree is better, but it's an extra $50cad at my shop.

Is it worth the extra cash?

Well first off, if you have profile cranks, and you get one of the new sprockets with the splines in it, its alot stronger and it wont bend because you dont need to use the crank bolt...

And they are just cleaner looking, stronger and handmade by a guy with a beard!

I kind of like solid sprockets, even if the extra weight is a waste... I wish I had normal cranks, I'd run a kink OG. I don't think it'd fit on my aluminum ones.
