Personally, I think you are overthinking this.
If you really feel like you want more power, sell the Edelbrocks and buy some Trickflow heads, as Dwayne suggested.
If it was me, I'd just run what you've got.

I don’t know how big the $1643 job from Hughes is, but the MCH cnc job actually makes the heads bigger than the TF heads. 240cc vs 252cc. At 540+ cubes, the volume could pay off.
If the price was right....... I’d say it’s a good option.

If the price was right....... I’d say it’s a good option. Based on the dyno testing I've done I'd say that TF240 heads work better than MCH ported Edelbrock heads. I've dyno tested them both and the TF heads work better. Not a ton better, but they do work better. If it was my engine I'd buy new TF240 heads and sell the Edelbrock heads as is. I think that will be the least money for the best result.

It would make for a good back to back comparo test. Throw some of the biggest Hughes cnc version into the mix as well(as long as we’re doing some imaginary testing).
Mill the Ede’s down to the same chamber volume as the TF heads to eliminate that variable.
If you’re starting from scratch....... the decision is a lot easier.
