Roller Tip Rockers ???

Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on running a roller tip rocker like the TSP in order to help reduce valve guide wear?

Looks like TSP has the lightest, most OEM looking roller tip rocker, but they are backordered...

Anyone have experience running them?

I really like roller tipped rockers.
Frees up some power, reduces valve guide wear.

Since i see the majority of lifter and rocker failures being in the needle bearings, i wouldn't want to add a new way for it to fail.
Maybe if they used ball bearings and not needle bearings.
