Question LS1/6 crank vs. 6.0 crank...

I know the LS1/6 and 6.0 have the same stroke and the LS1/6 crank is hollow in the mains and journals and the 6.0 is all solid...

Is anyone using the 6.0 in a LSx? Is there any advantages to it or disadvantages? Im curious if anyone is using this.

Prob no difference in strength, If anything they didn't drill the 6.0L cranks to save assembly line machining costs. The material looks a little different though (rougher), I've wondered if the 6.0L crank wasn't a nodular iron crank like the 5.7L cranks are.
