Default Thoughts on two cams

OK gang, looking for thoughts and "characteristics" of two set ups;

220 224 XER 581 581 114 +4 (standard small cam for AFR 205s)

218 224 XE High lift w/1.75 rockers 579 581 112 +4

I put together this combo to bring torque in earlier, have a little more low end torque, probably have a little lope but not too bad, and have a little less radical ramp than the XER and allow for adjustable rockers so I can try to make sure the preload is just right for all lifters.. According to my calculations there is a 3* degree difference in overlap. What do you think of the valve timing on this cam?

Will the dynamic compression be better on one versus the other
Will the 112 give noticably better torque down low
Will the idle be very different between the two

I appreciate your feedback
