If you plan on doing any headwork whatsoever i would just buy whatever is cheapest.

If he wants to do port work then he should just buy a bare used head. no point in tearing apart a brand new head.

WTF, he wants to buy a NEW head? Why on earth would you fork out that much cash for a stock head, just because it's new?
