With an adjustable valvetrain, it seems to me like the extra adjustment would take out any pushrod slack and the full lobe lift would still be imparted on the lifter and pushrod, which would translate to full valve lift.
It has been a long day. But isn't the difference in lift the difference in the radius of the base circle?
