Slightly more power, but if you are having them ported..... You can save money by going with the 241's. They will cost you $300-400 less, leaving that for the porting which will make them damned near even in terms of flow.
241 = $100-125
243 = $400-500
Hand porting job at a decent shop out here = $300-400
CNC porting from patriot = $600
Most port jobs will flow between 280-300cfm.

Question #1: Why by used 243 head for $600 when you can buy NEW 243 heads for $640???? I say $600 because thats what I have seen them go for used...
Question #2: the 243 head flow better than the 241 head, both stock.
But what about just spending the money to have the 241's CNC'ed,
both would the performe the same, wouldn't they????
