This is an apples to oranges comparison. This reminds of the guys that want to build a 318 'just to be different'.
I disagree with this statement. Nobody says " I will build a stock 360 just to be different"! In fact, there are way more stockers out there than strokers. And I think a lot more goes into it than what else you mentioned in your post. I can think of many reasons to build a 318 or a stroker 410. Here is just one example: For instance, a bracket car. I would much rather have a stock block 360 than a stroker! Why? Because a couple of hundred bucks replaces the entire engine if something should let loose. And if I'm slower than your stroker, it means I get to go first. If I'm more consistant, I'll put your stroker on the trailer in the first round.
