I agree with your sentiment regarding length and durability -- though I haven't had any issues, especially the safety aspect is something to keep in mind with used budget gear.
However, I was surprised how well the EXI spindle interface behaves even when the cranks loosen on a singlespeed. Yes, it makes some bad noises and can kill a BB when not fixed in due time, but the splines themselves are still pretty much mint. Color me impressed.
