Aftermarket has better tolerances, if your going to spend the money on a build better do it right or you may be doing it again. If you have a engine that is running get the dampner and install it on a running engine. You have to get it to around 2,000 rpm to "set" it. The machinist may have issues balancing if not done. I am no pro maybe someone will chime in.

the engine is just about to go to the machine shop for balancing

Bump for ya, while on the subject of balancers, what is the expected life on a stock balancer.

It would be better to use the ATI. Stock would work just not do as good of a job or hold up as well. Do it right the first time.

x2 plus a good balancer is a drop in the bucket compared to the price of everything else in a build. my vote goes to ati as well
