Default HPE or TSP....for a 347 forged shortblock

Who would you buy a forged 347 shortblock from? HPE or TSP? They have almost the same prices the HPE shortblock is like $30 cheaper. Details on experience with both

I don't have any personnal experience with any of them but from the PMs I exchanged with many members, HPE is the way to go. I think that Erik Koenig is the guy building them. He has a very good reputation!!
