Default 1.8 Harland Sharps or Scorpions???

I was wondering, since Scorpion has a decent name w/ Mustangs, and now they have introduced the 1.7 & 1.8 roller rockers to LS1's, what is the word on them?

Harland Sharps are avail in 1.8's. As I understand it, there is a $40 difference between the two which is not much. But the question is, which ones to get and why?

Get the ones that have the less weight on the roller tip, that would be the Scorpions. well engineered piece IMO

Only feedback I have seen on the Scorpion's thus far is from a couple of motor builder/vendors. They have indicated they provide a very narrow wipe pattern and are good quality. I would choose them over the Harlands myself.

anyone know how much power going to a 1.8 rocker realistically adds? on a bone stock ls6 with long tubes for example? or maybe a stock ls1?

Someone on CF had an issue with the Scorpion's, waiting to see what caused the problem but the rockers failed. It is unclear at this time if the rockers themselves were the cause or the effect. I would go with the Yella Terra's at this point.
