I'm liking the Alfine idea very much, but with a maximum tooth count of 45, and a struggle to find single speed chainrings on a PCD of 110, with more than 50t I think the comedown from my current 54T set up would make it too spinny to be useful.

Take care if you decide to do this. It isn't necessarily as straightforward as it might seem.
As I'm currently 'in negotiations' over a dispute with a major retailer, PM me if you want to know the details.
FWIW the Alfine chainset has a steel (Unlike Ultegra / DA aluminium) spindle.
I guess you get what you pay for.....
So the weight savings may be less than expected - I'll post the numbers once all the components have been delivered.
