iam at 288/280, at 12.75, and yeah its a bit more lively, but not worth the outlay.
if i had the choice again, i would have gone for 296/288 @ 13mm lift.. a bit more involved, but worthwhile.

Less interested in outright power than oem+ reliability. There isn't even consensus on the internet on whether dlc rockers keep their coating beyond an initial couple hundred kilometers. If not, end users are paying extra just to induce wear on their newly purchased camshafts (given the more aggressive ramp angles). Especially given oil that is famously thick before coming up to temp. I'm as of yet undecided if I'll buy dlc rockers or not.
For some, the extra trade off for power is worth it. For me, it isn't (and is also why I'm getting the csl exhaust valves to go along with these cams - their reduced weight should directionally reduce friction as an offset to the higher ramp angle).
