Default headquaters 103 - 107 build

Spoke with the local wrench the other day and was looking at getting him to do a headquaters 103 or 107. He's done them both but suggested that doing the 103 will leave some room for the future (way long term) should I need them cleaned up down the road. By going 107 it doesn't leave much room for future honing.
Anybody heard this before had issues?
He's good to do either, just threw it out for me to think about.

Do the 107 and never look back. The only "cleaning up" you'll be doing in the future is when you bore your cases for more power. Believe me......it's coming.

I have had both HQs 103 and two 107's the performance difference is night day -- you would not expect with just 4 CI more. Your numbers will be about 5% less with TBW (this is a mystery why) but performance will be there -- I would also look in to T-Man build
