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....

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.
