I don't really know which i should choose.

No the comp cam is identical but it is so close it would be hard to see any performance differences between the two. Both great marine engine cams

Are you looking at kits where the Comp Cams uses factory style dogbone lifters and the crane uses retrofit link style ?

Yes.... comp cam refers his dog bone lifter for $218.
crane refers lifters for $880. they might be better, but do i really need them? Is there an improvement over the comp cam set???

.710 is a lot lift....
i gave johnson lifters an email to get the right part number for my project, but did not get any response.
Lifters seems to be a neverending story in my build.
Perhaps i should take the comp cam set to come to an end.
