Default build 107 or stick with 96" and Andrews 48's?

OK, do I build a 107 or stick with the stock 96" and Andrews 48 cams? It runs GREAT with the 48's, good enough that I flat out spank my brother's stout little 1200 sporty. I'm starting to get a little bored with the 96, and building a 124 is a little outta budget for now. This softail is my daily rider, and I really run the crap outta it. It pulls the occasional trailer and passenger, and its hand shifted. Since its my daily ride, reliability is key so a clutch WILL go in. The stiffer the spring the better, it helps with the feel of the foot clutch. I've been thinking to go with S&S 570 EZ starts, since I dont have factory compression releases. Thoughts?

10.0-1 seems a bit low for the 585's.

With the addition of an S&S .570, at 10.2 cr, 107", and a good set of heads, with t/body upgrade, or yours bored/ported, you'll have a COMPLETELY different bike.
Great power coming on quickly, and cool running with that exhaust timing.
