Default Stay SFT or go Roller

Ok so I'm progressing on my build, machine work is taking forever but it is what it is. But I'm killing myself here.

I had Crower custom grind me a solid flat tappet cam and I have a set of NOS Hylift Johnson Solid EDM lifters
250/256 @ .050
522/531 lift with 1.5 RR
112 LSA

But now I'm wondering if I should go with the Howards roller cam #414495-08
237/243 @ .050
.560/.565 lift with 1.5RR
110 LSA

It's about $1200 to make the jump which for rollers isn't too bad but that's going with Howards (Morels) lifters

Here's the details of the car

66 Lemans

400 Block with ARP 2 bolt main studs
.030 over Ross/Butler pistons +20cc dish
Scat 4.25 forged crank
Scat 6.8 Forged rods
Speedmaster 72cc heads cleaned up
KRE dual quad intake

Muncie M20
3.31 rear gear
28" tire

Should I make the jump or just be happy and stay with what I got.

Also I just like talking with you guys and general discussion on the topic
