What I'm reading here is:
"OOps, I bought something that's wayy heavier than what I was thinking.
I seem biased in favor of Praxis, and apparently I tried every other options that's been offered because I reject these options (inferior quality, low durability, too costly, etc.).
Add to this that DJ confesses he won't do the job himself because of poor skills...

Sorry, but we're lost here...
This post maybe should just have started like this:
"Hey, I want to experiment something: Drilling a heavy cyclocross 46T Praxis Chainring and see how much weight I can shave off the part and if it still shifts well...

You would have already a dozen


Just my opinion,
GO DJ !!!
