If you read the articles I posted, it clearly says this is one of the Hemi's advantages. You can put larger valves in them compared to a wedge because the valves are opposite each other rather than next to each other.

The main reasons the Hemi was discontinued was because of all of the motorsports sanctions, rising insurance costs, EPA clean car regulations and just like the 1st generation Hemi, cost of production.
