I've been looking at changing over the ZX14 to a EK ZZZ 525 as opposed to a EK ZZZ 530 or the DID ZVMX.

DID Various

Pros-
Lighter
Greater range of sprockets seem to be readily available
Cons-
Shorter life span/ more frequent adjustments
Not officially rated to 1400cc
Just looking for feedback on why I should/shouldn't.
