Agreed - I got 30000km out of my last set of SRAM red chainrings (admittedly road and not mtb). I went through 6 chains during this period. 

 

You should be able to change the chain several times before having to change your chain ring. Maybe post a photo of the ring in question and all the experts here will tell you if it is worn or not?

It all depend on mileage done and terain,

No one said the ring is done on 1 chain, 

Serious daily  cross country training and serious cross country racing,

No issue with set up as bike is regularly serviced by a top mechanic,

 

The issue is not durability, it is part availability.

Why don't you just DHL two of these:

XXX Platinum is going to be the next big thing. Mark my Googly words.

I'm going to need time to get used to seeing cassettes that look like dinner plates. When I picked Chainsaw up at the sani finish I saw so many of them.  Just looks weird.
