The splines are fine. New...
Buy a £400 thing from a random with no escrow feature. Unless you're made of money (and if you were you wouldn't be complaining about a crank) quite silly.
@Howard who the hell is using a ball end to tighten cranks?! I bet some idiot is, but damn, name and shame them for their own safety!
