NBS vs Balance shaft delete

I am getting ready to do a fresh TVS build with the LSJ block. Have valve springs so plan on revving to 8k. Will get a ATI super damper as well. What I am wondering is if there are any advantages to say ZZP's neutral balance shaft vs. OTTP balance shaft delete kit. IMO it seems the best way to go would be the delete kit with idlers as it is far cheaper and less rotating mass. Honestly it seems like such a better deal than the NBS kit that I am not really even sure why NBS exist which leads me to believe I am missing something. What do you guys think?

balance shaft delete unless you can find actual GMR balance shafts. but even then I would just delete them

neutral balance shafts are better if you may want to remove them in the future. also easier if your trying to swap them in the car as you dont need to put the bushings in the block. imo the balance shaft idlers are the better option, being your building an engine its the better option.

I'm not sure if the NBS' add any dampening over a balance shaft delete, but especially if you're revving your engine high a lot (IE: road racing), deleting is the way to go, and nobodies really ever had any problems with a balance shaft delete either.
