To Stroke or not to Stroke?

I just watched a video on Motortrend Ondemand (30 day free trial)
They used these engines in the Amsoil build challenge I believe?
They built a 410 (360 .040 0ver w/4"stroke) and a stock stroke 360 .040 over with the exact same:
Cam - .545 lift hyd.
Intake - Eddy air gap
Heads - Eddy alum. 63cc comb. chamber out of the box
carb - 850 Holly DP.
Comp - 10.1:1
The only difference was the stroke of these engines.
410 made 431 HP, 479 ft lbs torque
360 made 422 HP, 448 ft lbs torque

Just passing on what I saw - I'm planning my 360 build now also, trying to learn all that I can.
