Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

$250 + or - $20 on a crankset??

Well finishing up my bike. Its my race bike.
Got $250 (+/- $20) to spend on a crankset.
What are my options aside from the FSA K-Force Mega Exo Crankset?

You could get an Ultegra and pocket the rest.

Agreed.

Wasn't there a table going around a few weeks ago suggesting the only stiffer crankset was Record? I say Rival and an extra $100 of bike bling of some other sort. It may not be the most OCP option, but it's a tough deal to beat.
