I vote for strong, cool pattern, reversibility, in 47, 49 & 53t sizes. In terms of competition there's only really the 44rn that ticks those boxes.

The dinner plate 'ring idea is cool but utterly pointless for general use

Once you've done this, another venture could be spiderless CX narrow-wide chainrings, they only really go up to 34 tooth for mtb and there's a gap there

Whilst I'm here, there's also a gap for a narrow-wide ring that fits Shimano's new 4 bolt cranks
