As most of you know, if we are running an EFI engine, and we run Aluminum Roller rockers, it usually requires us to run tall valve covers, which requires at least a 1/2" spacer, which typically results in hood clearance issues that result in running a cowl hood. I am trying to avoid this cascading of events.
So, in talking with some friends, it was recommended that a way to avoid this would be to run either Stainless or Chromoly roller rockers, which have smaller bodies, and allow me to use either a stock or lower profile valve cover, thus hopefully avoiding the spacer/cowl hood issue.
So, in my search, I found Crower and Comp chromoly roller rockers for about $600 for a set of 16, which is more than I would like to pay, especially considering this is really just a street car, not looking for any racing, etc. Well, I also came across a set of PRW Stainless Roller Rockers that Anderson sells for about $260, which is more inline with my budget. I would be running these on some Edelbrock aluminum heads with 7/16" rocker studs, with the TrickFlow Stage 1 cam. Here is a link to the arms:

I have been told that Anderson Motorsports is reputable, but I have no direct knowledge, so I was curious if anyone here had any advice either about the Rocker arms, and possibly about Anderson as well. I did some searching for more info on the PRW arms, but found the information to be all over the place.
Final question... my Camshaft is safe to run 1.7 rockers on, and my springs can handle up to .600 lift (I am way under that), so I wanted to see if running a 1.7 versus 1.6 ratio rockers was a good choice? The price appears to be the same between the two, so it seemed to me like extra breathing for the motor at no extra cost.
Thanks in advance...
