340 Stroker Rotating Assembly

Ede heads ported with pushrods moved 2.08 valves and a victor intake , with a ported airgap it made 527hp 560 tq
I am considering this modification. I found a set of econo W2 rockers that could allow me to fully relocate the pushrods in the heads. A bigger valve is also tempting especially if I can get a lot of benefit in the lift range for the cams I am looking at.
What made you go with a 2.08 vs a 2.055?
