His comments are for building the ultimate valve train. Nothing he used
is stock. Also his comments come from the aspect of
building/machining/modifying the valve train.

He only complains about the modifications he wants to do. Nowhere does he
speak of performance gains, hp figures or longevity. besides that, his
comments are based on what he likes to do to a head via the modification
procedures/tools available to him.
So, you would use one mans opinion as a foundation to which you bandwagon
the lifter differences? He is respected but he is also ONE MAN. 

There are more engine builders who im sure, have a different idea as to
what works best. Different strokes for different folks and nowhere have I
ever heard a performance figure difference beyond the theories of what it
is the HYD and solid lifters do.
Anyone else?
