Correct Replacement Crankset

    After getting a replacement middle ring and tools to change it I've been unable to do it and have decided to not go any further myself and will be getting my bike shop to do it while in the process upgrading crankset and I just wanted to double check I'm getting the right one.

    I'll be replacing an Alivio FC-M430 with a Deore FC-M590. Bike shop says they'll remove, face and fit it for me. Other than the facing and Hollowtech II being a different setup, is there anything else I need to consider? I don't fancy having €60 going down the drain after wasting €30 odd on other parts. Same crank length, teeth, chain line and bottom bracket shell width.
