Default EMI Thunder Cast Riser VS SS Riser

Currently I am using EMI cast risers with Corsa diverters. I want to eliminate the Corsa's and I expect the aluminum cast risers may be a source of restriction on this otherwise decent exhaust. Has anyone changed from the cast to SS risers? I also do not care for the water passage through the risers and that can be eliminated with the SS style. Is it worth $800.00 to make the change?

Dyno,
Please keep me informed of your progress on your custom risers. I have been considering for a couple of years of making my own risers. It's just a matter of finding the time for this and the rest of life's demands. Although I have no proof, I suspect those cast risers on not getting the job done. Right now we are in the middle of "version IV" of my engine. I wiped out a cam lobe after about 125 hrs on it last fall. We have the engine totally apart and doing some more changes. I just can't help myself.
