FWIW, I don't notice much difference in a 5mm crank arm difference. Your actual mileage may vary.

Q has nothing to do with crank length. Q is the stance width and would be affected by pedal spindle length. Ive never changed my crank length as I have no need but Q makes an enormous difference to my cycling. I cant ride a standard width bike more than a few k without pain.
Edit: Oops, i see now that you meant Q as in Question. Sorry.

you can definately change your rings (if the bcd is equal) or entire crank if you want however you may need to lengthen you chain a few links
