As I'm currently replacing my cassette and chain, I figured I may as well go the whole way and also change up my 36T chainring (Saint Double). However looking on CRC undeer 'Saint' they all appear to be XT and none in 36T.
Is there a good aftermarket I should be looking for?
I have a bash fitted but how quick do colourd chainrings wear?
As always, thanks to those who respond.

Deore Steel last for ages, not much extra weight.
an XT will fit.
Right is it purely that CRC don't have any of XT 36T? I took the presumption that it didnt exist as it didn't say it as an out of stock option.
Will running a steel ring be harsher on the chain?
A steel rings should in theory be beneficial, because it's harder wearing. Your chain already goes around nine (or even ten) steel rings at the back so it'll be fine if it's relatively new.
[edit] What about a Middleburn Hardcote ring? I've got one on my XC bike that's lasted 18 months and is doing just fine.
+1 for Deore Steel.
Ooh ok a side seems to be forming for Deore, added to the fact they're pretty reasonably priced too.
I've just spent 70 on the chain and cassette so was hoping my only options wouldn't be too expensive.
One more question:

On that SLX version it states it as (Double only), will the deore be a straight fit with a bash or does it need to be specific?
