Some say I'm apathetic, but I don't care. - Randy
That's the one a groove. Good to know that's normal, was not so sure about it, when it turned up in the post a week ago.
What's your recommendation for a descending ring? There were quite a few options... and we don't have a REI here. The one from Whoopiesling.com is out of stock... Your advice would greatly appreciated.
Another option for rings is Paul a "AHE".

Keep in mind what these are used for. They are made to rappel off the rock face. The only thing I would look out for is it's construction, Solid is the one you want. I am not talking about the SMC Descending Ring, I am talking about the one that is rolled, they will fail easily.
The SMC Descending Ring's Break Strength is 14 kilonewtons, (about 3147 pounds-force)
The Omega Pacific Rappel Ring is rated at 20 kilonewtons, (about 4496 pounds-force).
I think you good to go!
