Oversized valves: good or bad?

Can some one explain why hp 383s came with large port heads and 2.14 valves but when you have a 360 or 408 it is automatic for someone to say 2.05 valves are to large? Seemed to work out ok for the 383 .

The 383 works well with a 2.14" valve because of the bore size, its .250 larger than a 360 so there is more room for a bigger valve.
