Default lunati / eagle stroker kit differences

Can some one please clarify what the differences are between a Lunati and Eagle Stroker kit are? I've read there was a difference in connecting rods (I-vs-H) and the need of a crank trigger. Is this correct?

the eagle will come with the crank trigger as well. some say the eagle cranks require more balancing. alot of ppl here have used eagle stuff with no problems.

Eagle may pose a problem if you have an M6. Pilot bearing doesn't fit as snug as it should.

OK, I'm going with an A4 so that shouldn't be a problem. I thought there would be a larger difference to support the large jump in price. You know...parts included, strength, performance, etc,
