Sorry, should have used the <sarcasm> tag.
Th caged roller is easier to manufacture but IMHO inferior to the full complement. They eliminate a major cause of failure - shaft hardness - by using the shaft only as a support, not a bearing surface.
Cages for roller separation become important when the speed of rotation gets above perhaps 3,000 RPM at this size. Harley used full complement on cam bearings since 1958 (1/2 engine speed) but caged rollers throughout the engine.
