They are more difficult to balance, is the word I've heard from every sponser(and non-sponser) I've talked to. Callies is easier than Eagle, but still not as easy as Lunati, which comes almost ready out of the box from what I understand.

The guy who balanced mine said it balanced nicely, with very minimal metal. No complaints here.
The mains mic'd just slightly undersize by a few .00001. Rods were right on. We line honed the block, used +1 main bearings, and got .0020 main bearing clearance. Rod clearance was .0026-.0029 using STD rod bearings.

I'm building a 383 for a customer right now using an Eagle crank, Diamond pistons, and Lunati Pro-Mod rods. Just had the rotating assembly balanced and the machinist said it balanced nicely, which was not what I was expecting.

The opposite is true for the Callies crank. I know a guy that needed alot of mallory to get it balanced. Ofcourse you'll hear stories about Eagle cranks cause they are half the price of Callies. I saw the Callies in person and they leave alot of casting slop on it. I wasn't impressed considering what it cost.
