Anyone using a Superstar Raptor ring with a Shimano 12s drivetrain inc. chain?

Building up a new bike for the wife and planning on using her existing, not very old Race Face Cinch cranks and I'd not contemplated chainrings till now. Her existing chainring is a non-boost Race Face steel which I don't think will clear the frame even if it did work with the chain.

I know you can get other 12s specific rings but there all almost double the price.

I have the Raptor ring on my RF Aeffect cranks with brand new SLX 12 speed (inc chain) - no issues yet that I have noticed but early days.

Thanks @vmgscot that's the exact setup she'll be running as I've just ordered one.

Superstar don't do an oval ring compatible with SlX/XT direct mount rings do they as yet?

I can see unite do so may order one of those instead if they work with Shimano 12speed
