can you put a Dura Ace bb/crankset on a bike running a Chorus
drivetrain? Do the outgoard bearings change the chainline significantly?

Nope, not hardly at all. ERGO is completely compatible with this and just about
every other crank/BB/front der combo.
If ya got to have larger bearings and ya gotta have a thinner BB spindle, I
think the 'headset' style of BB, now offered by shimano, FSA, and others is a
good idea BUT
Still nuthin wrong with a square taper in terms of long life, stiffness,
bearing size, etc, if installed and maintained correctly.
