Campy triple cranks: Veloce vs. Centaur?

believe it or not, stamped components /can/ have better mechanical properties than machined, but
accuracy is generally not as good.

you're not going to go far wrong either way. if you want to save a few bucks, get the veloce crank
but the centaur b/b.

A quick question: Other than aesthetics, are there any significant differences, in performance or
durability, between Campy Veloce and Centaur triple cranks? Or more narrowly: Are there any
functional differences between the stamped alu chainrings that come stock with Veloce cranks and
the machined ones that come with Centaur?

Thanks,

I looked into this when choosing my triple chainset, and besides finish, I haven't found any
evidence or opinions that there is any difference at all between Mirage, Veloce and Centaur
crank arms.

Centaur rings are said to last longer but Veloce rings work and last very well in my experience.
Certainly do /look/ a bit cheap though.
