Not sure I want to go back to square taper though.

The future is square (and slightly tapered).

Tuneable chainline and Q factor is worth more than the stiffness. FACT.

I'm not bothered about stiffness, I just think it's a worse system. My last set of square taper cranks wore away to the point where they fell off as I was riding along. (I didn't know a lot about bike maintenance then though.) I also don't care about Q factor at all. Tuneable chainline is a big plus though, and also ease of replacement in Mongolia.

Maybe I'll give it a crack then

I’ve had this with Sram Apex. If things loosen they will wear. It doesn’t help that the SRAM bolt is so short.

I use a torque wrench these days ;-)
