Roller lifters break of course but they'll be less abused with the average stocker having .400-.500" lift as opposed to the .800" in a super stocker. Starting a new engine without the dreaded cam break in fear and changing valve springs on the engine would be nice.

Sometimes it can be harder to control a lifter on a smaller lobe then a larger one. Just food for thought. Roller lifters should be rebuilt or thrown away after some time. You don’t really have that issue with solids.

Been there done that (Dallas National) last weekend. Thankfully Brenda caught it almost immediately...I happened at engine startup at the scales. You are fooling yourself if you think there is less breakage/cost with roller lifters. When the do go bad...they go really bad.
