Until someone figures out a way to cheaply close the top deck and make them reliable for more than 100 horsepower I think I'll pass. :D
Robert Maw on Facebook has developed a filler plate and a CNC program to install it.He's the guy doing the billet head too.
That's only going to expose the next weakest link in the block....

Doug Dutra did this in an article in the Slant Six News
Here 'tis, from issue 55 (published sometime in 1994ish, after Jack Poehler stopped putting dates on):

2 lifters:

Which one is lighter?

The shorter one with the hourglass figure? AKA the Dumbell Lifter?

The dumbell weighs in at 98.5g

I can think of 2 ways/reasons off the top of My head; 1) the top ID is larger & machined square down to the pushrod cup/seat, not a concave radius like the dumbell. 2) the straight cylinder lifter could be step-bored and the pushrod cup pressed in.
