The only people that care about this are those that ain't got one. Hemi Envy that's all.
Bingo! I've got two 5.7L Hemis and I love both of them! 
IIRC the '50s "Hemi" V8s by Chrysler/Dodge/DeSoto had the "most" hemispherical heads, later refined by Tom Hoover and those engineers to become the 426 Hemi in 66-71, and refined even farther (modernized) to become the 5.7/6.1/6.2/6.4L Hemi engines of today.
5.7L Hemi...not perfectly hemispherical combustion chambers, but still a GREAT engine for what it is. I wouldn't buy a new Mopar without a Hemi (in the models that have it available, that is).
