Ya some say overkill, but I would always rather have overkill than just enough, its only money right I dont have any experiance with the comps but I have set up a couple of the Jesel Adjustable rocker and they are a VERY nice piece. I like having the ability of setting the preload I need per lifter instead of having to shim the entire rail, and try and get as close as possible.

I'll let ya'll in on a little secret. There is no shaft rocker that is a bolt on install.They are not made to be. None of them will clear a stock valve cover.(modified stock cover, yes) All will require a short pushrod like 7.050" or 7.100" and all will require the heads to be modified by elongating the pushrod hole.
