If a person wanted to buy some Boost cranks, it seems the only choice is SRAM. Maybe some of boutique brands have offerings but I'm not keen to cough up $400 for blingy Hope et al cranks that are going to get battered. I like the cost effectiveness of Shimano cranks along with their simplicity and robustness. But try finding SLX or XT cranks in BOost versions in our wide brown land of online retailers.
I'm at the point of buying some bits to complete a HT build and it makes sense to buy Eagle shifter/derailleur so I don't have to buy a wheel set immediately, and can borrow from my Fuel EX until my bike bits fund gets a boost. I'd rather get Shimano cranks and was looking around in case my handcrafted spider doesn't work out.
Shimano's new 12spd stuff isn't available from MTB Direct or Pushy's yet.
