Looks like the benefits would be:

SBC water pumps are much more common than Ponchos. And especially if you wanted to run an electric pump.

I assumed everything was magged, but you know how that goes. It’s getting KRE heads, so fairly warmed over. I am tossing around the idea of having that one journal taken down 0.020 and see how it goes
