Shaft mount roller rocker setup question

Why are these setup different than the ductile iron set? I would have thought springs would do the same thing?

The ductile iron ones have a wider “footprint” on the valve stem end of the rocker tip so I’m guessing they have more room for error so to speak and are more geared towards a heavy duty stock replacement type application. This not at all a race motor, just a truck 360 with a bit more cam, intake and headers. In all likelihood a 5000 rpm motor so they will work just fine for me.
