Sram S300 Courier vs FSA Tempo

I have a Bianchi Pista Steel single speed bike and my bottom bracket is just about to die. It came with an FSA Tempo crankset and I was wondering whether it would be better to swap out the whole crankset instead of just the bottom bracket.

Sram S300 has good price and great reviews. But is it worth to upgrade? Is it even an upgrade?

Probably not much of an upgrade, really. If there's nothing wrong with your current cranks, I say keep em.

The gxp bottom brackets can be hit or miss so even though I like my s300s I don't think it's a great upgrade.
