Default Campagnolo Racing T vs Veloce Cranksets

Cambria bike has NOS Campy Racing Triple cranksets on sale for $90.
Seems like a good buy. I am wondering how that would compare to a
2004 Veloce 10s crank. Will the durability or finish be significanly
better either way? I have heard that the Racing T stuff was somewhere
around Daytona/Athena at the time but I don't know how that compares
to the current line. If I decide to go to 10s at some later point
would the 10s Veloce offer any real world advantage?

Finish is better on the Racing T. Not 100% sure but i also think Racing T has better chainrings.

Racing T is the same crankset as the current Centaur triple.

No

Better chainrings than Veloce, pretty similar crankarms. $90 is WAY more than
new rings would cost.

No need or advantage of the 10s rings. The Racing T crank will work great with
the Racing Triple crank/rings w/o any modification needed.
