Default LS7 Lifters: Opinons needed

Hello all,
About to heads/cam swap my LS1 and just saw there are 2 kinds of LS7 lifters, Delphi (~$100) or the performance lifters (~$180). Should I drop the extra $80 for the performance? What's the difference? It's not a big deal if I should, just wondering if it's worth it.
Anyone who has purchased LS7 lifters, what are your opinions on this?

Thanks in advance!

Run something better than the ls7 lifters imo.

I ran a morel 5315 drop in for my cam swap. They are a much better lifter, really quiet, and aren't much more than the ls7's. Just make sure you measure for your pushrods properly to achieve a .050-.060 preload. (Very happy with them) Just make sure you buy them from BTR or another reputable vendor.

Thanks for the info! I wanted some higher end lifters like Morel but all I was finding was the $400+ race ones. I hadn't scrolled down far enough on BTR's list of lifters to see the Morel 5315s. I'll be getting those now. Thanks!
