Levo Gen 2 Help on crankset for 2019 Levo

[wrayb]

I have read the threads on the Hope, Praxis, and Miranda cranks but I still have a question so I thought I would post a different thread. The stock 165mm Praxis cranks on my 2019 Levo are not terribly bad but I think I can do better. So far, I have purchased a set of 160 mm Praxis Cranks and a set of 150mm Miranda Kappa 0 (Q8/Q4). The 160mm Praxis cranks are shorter and seem to work better than the stock cranks 165mm Praxis cranks but they definitely have greater Q factor which is defeating the purpose. The 150mm Miranda cranks seem really short and inefficient (feels like spinning my 20 inch unicycle!) although the Q factor seems to be the same as the stock 165mm Praxis (and I read where more than one person has experienced quality issues with the Miranda cranks).

I am thinking the 155mm Hope cranks would be a great crankset to try. They seem to be a real quality product (light weight, well designed, and well made). I only have two questions:

1) is the Q factor on the 155 Hope pedals similar (the same) to the stock 165mm Praxis cranks?
2) where the heck can I purchase (in the USA) a set of Black 155 Hope E-bke cranks? And...if they are not available in the USA where in the world can I purchase these and get them shipped here fairly quickly for a reasonable cost?

Thanks for the help!

just to mention, Miranda makes a set of 155 with stock Q

I am aware of the 155 Miranda Kappa cranks and I might go that route. Biggest problem is I can't find these in stock in the USA and they only ship 2 day from Portugal which is pricey (paid shipping once already for the 150mm). I would really like to find the Hope cranks if possible.
