This is pretty much what Dan Jesel was thinking too.
Explain then why mine live? I went with them on a sugestion from my friend who runs Super gas and Super Comp. Both are 600+ BB chevys with over an 1" of lift and 1000bs over the nose. They haven't hurt any bushed lifters either.

Basically, the way I understand it is it comes down to the oiling. The bushed lifters have about .0015 clearance and need good forced oiling so they don't increase the friction on the bushing. If they don't have the proper oiling, the friction increases. Sounds like you have really good lifter oiling. I personally do not have a preference, but the bushed lifters got my attention, for the reasons you stated.
