Has anyone tried both the EC90 and the White (R30 or G30)?

I have a Next SL on my fat bike and like it and the EC90 is basically the same thing, so I'm sure I'd like it. The weight difference only seems to be a 1-200 grams. I'm basically interested in stiffness.

The Eastons will probably have more chainring options down the line, which is a good selling point. However, if I do 1x on the White I can go all silver which is classy.

For crying out loud stop thinking about it and go with the White Industries G30. It's a no brainer. Everything they make is top notch and beautiful. I recently had a new wheelset built up with Velocity rims and Gold White Industry XMR hubs...Perfection. Over time I plan to replace my cranks on my Vaya with White Ind G30 cranks and Bottom bracket..

If Q factor matters look at the difference. The WI are really wide for "road" cranks.

Its not a no brainer. The Easton is lighter, has more chainring options, and is also made in North America. \n \nI have zero doubt that they're both fantastic. I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with both. \n \nPMC- I don't think I have Q factor sensitivity. I'm 6'1" so I have proportionally wider hips than smaller folks who are stuck with the same Q.
