I bought a set of tool steel lifters recently for under $300 and had them treated for $250. I use a nitrided cam. This is a SBC and 210 on the seat. Works for me. The place I got these from is RPM Machine in North Carolina and made in USA. I think he may make them for other brands. He says he has some in stock. I found his ad on Facebook and just called and ordered them. For me, the process works and isn’t too crazy $$$.

The excuse that Stock would be one step closer to Super Stocker doesn't fly. Not when you have cars running in Stock that are closer to comp than to Stock. I don't need a set right now but I know several racers that are waiting for them. With no real time line when to expect any. I know one racer that was quoted recently $2400 and about a year wait. I get if the rules weren't changed and they didn't allow some of the valve train changes we wouldn't have this problem. That horse left the barn years ago. I try to look forward instead of what if's.
