I know, I like the Most crankset for the look, but I am worry about the comparability with the Ui2 system.

Finally got a new photo of my bike sporting 7900:
I have a pair of Easton EC-90SLs with the same colour scheme (black with red/white decals) but they're in storage for the winter right now:

Remove the spacers, and cut the steerer, remove the wheel stickers, change the crankset, or possibly the entire group. White hoods would probably look nice on that bicycle as well. As you say it is fine, but those changes would make it hot, so not for now.

Throw the stick!!!!
With a bike that nice it is just nitpicking at this point. There is always room for improvements and that is what most of us were offering.

current ultegra and dura ace cranksets are a pretty piece of machining but as a bike part they are ugly. they do not visually blend into most frames.

cannondale, lightning, red, rotor, and campagnolo cranksets all look better without sacrificing performance. besides, this thread is heartless and shallow, in these pages: appearance>performance
