XT or Hone?

I'm in the market for a new crank set and have determined that for the price and cost of repair the xtr is completely out of the question. In doing some price comparisons on XT cranks, I came across some Hone's. I've been out of the loop, I guess, but I have never heard of them and am not sure which way to go. I know the heritage of the XT group, but am usure of the new groups(ie: saint and hone). Any sugestions?:confused:

Hone is just a black version of LX. The new Xt is supposed to be stiffer and lighter than last years.
I the new group recently and did not note any difference from my old xt. I have a hone and that is a honking crank. If you are a bigger guy I would go for the hone and save the denerow.-sp?
