If your chain tension does not vary based on crank position, I think it's safe to say you don't need to center the chainring. All lower-end cranks I've used have needed this done. Didn't need to do it on my Omniums, even if I didn't like them.

Resting today because my legs are beat. I don't know how accurate Strava's climbing measurements are, but it says I did a little over 2000ft on my ride yesterday.

i usually run low/mid range cranks. currently FSA Gimondi (yes, i'm a Campy poser, but they make me happy) and they've all needed to be centered. some rings are rounder than others though....

Today I woke up hungover and with sore legs. Decided to take a day off of the bike. Riding the train around listening to Diplo cuz I'm bored. Not bad.

It's also the one of the CX gruppo's of choice. If it can handle that, it can handle anything.

Today I: received my order from scrod, opened it and the amount of hate inside is only fitting for the chain that I ordered among other things. 
I posted my first impressions along with some comparison pics in the what did you just buy for your bike thread.

SOB!!!!! broke a chainring bolt! and Scrod is out of the knurled. ordered a set of Brev from the'Bay.
i'm just going to step away now. thankfully my chainring is centered now, even missing a bolt. almost no variation in tension during revolution....
