My Centaur BB is on the way out - iso square taper 111mm - are there any alternatives worth considering other than a like for like replacement - it's on my race bike so not looking for something cheaper necessarily but wondered if there is something a bit lighter, smoother or longer lasting in a similarish price range.

Was thinking of taking the opportunity to upgrade it to a new style chainset but the cost looks prohibitive hence plan to just replace with another square taper - unless someone can convince me there is a noticeable difference ?

it's a hard life if you don't weaken.
