Lost my effing crown race

Either me or my LBS lost my crown race and now I have to get a new one. I am looking in the $50 range. More specifically at the Campy Chorus 1" threaded and the FSA Duron X. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about either? I'm leaning toward the Chorus because it has a nicer finish and well, it's Campy.

I looked at the Record and to be honest I don't think it's as pretty as the Chorus.

Depending on the headset, replacement parts, i.e crown races can easily had.

Yeah I was using a 105 headset, but it's black and I am slowly changing the bits on my bike over to chrome/silver so I am using this as an opportunity to replace the headset.

Is this for that new show "Extreme Bicycle Make-over"?
