Curious what metric you are using re. the chainring being “the best available at any price”?
Eagle rings work great but in my experience all the narrow wide rings I’ve tried have done a good job of keeping my chain on.
The stainless steel n/w Wolftooth rings last significantly longer. In aluminum rings \(so no SS weight penalty\) Renthal rings last longer as well in my experience. There are many options that are less expensive.
