Air Gap vs. M1 Single Plane For Stroker

I'm way too lazy and OCD to epoxy stuff in my manifold. I'd always be worried about the stuff breaking off.
Heli-arc. Done!
Any opinion on using an open spacer for the AG vs. Milling a notch in the divider?
Use a spacer before milling the divider every time.
The only thing I would do to the divider is round the edges off with the use of a spacer, except the 4 hole where it wouldn’t matter. Just check for clearance between the spacer and the intake. Mill away what ever protrudes into the bore hole of the spacer.
Open, 4 hole or tapered is the big question.
