If you could get some of the big time Pontiac NA guys to give up how much money they have in their top ends, well, you could buy a 1200HP Schmidt BBC with 1200+HP and a one year guarantee with the money spent.
And you get Tony on your side which you could learn a lot from.
80K Pontiac engines are a thing and you have to love Pontiacs more than money to do it.
You need to work on posting accurate info.
Cost is exactly the same (lots of $$$)! Both heads begin at same point. BES has cnc program for both heads. Both take same time to port/prepare. Only cost difference would be initial bare casting cost and i bet that's probably a wash.

Not sure how that changes the fact there is no cost difference between PP and Tiger heads

Why would you ask a guy whom has never spoken to Tony or spent a dime with the guy as to why he would recommend him?

Its obvious why Tony is so respected. More than just a few of the "name" Pontiac guys started with Butler, KRE or some other Pontiac specific shop.
They end up at BES and stay there.
Out of my league for sure.

Do you have any of those "name" guys in your stable ?
Asking for a friend.
