I agree its not good, but I dont think its terrible. The puller is annoying as its a new tool, and adds 15 quid to the part, but I can get a 2010 ultra torque Athena crank (they're still around) for cheap, and it doesnt seem worth the hassle of selling on the power torque for a heavier, marginally more convenient part.
The change from ultrashift to powershift seems a much bigger deal. I'm actually wondering if I can put the Athena levers on a chorus STI, but I suspect they'll be incompatible.
Anyhow - MercianMechanic - do you know the 'lip' width on your puller so I can make sure the one I pick up will fit behind the crank ok?
