I thought this too when I had to work on my brother's Si cranks but all you need is a piece of steel rod and a standard 3 piece crank extractor. Youtube.
You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

For now, I've decided to splash out on a saddle instead, as I don't think that the stiffness/shift quality argument will stack up when using the same rings, and weight loss doesn't seem worth it.
When the 52/36 SpideRing appears, though...

I have SuperSix (non HiMod) with SL-K and SuperSix HiMod with Hollowgram SISL. Cannonade says that the bikes should have the same stiffness. There is a huge difference in responsiveness and feeling of power transfer. Of course I tested with the same wheels on both bikes. I have never tried to switch the cranks too see if that is the difference, but definitely there is HUGE difference.
EDIT: same FSA chainrings on both bikes.

I'm also thinking about getting the Hollowgram crank, I currently have Sram Red Exogram installed and just can't justify spending all that money for the Hollowgrams yet
