BZZZZT.   Anyone who doesn't consider the cost benefit ratio of 
differing approaches to producing more power demonstrates a deep 
ignorance of basic economic principals.

I'm sure that the bigger valves were the driving force behind the twin 
spark head.   All the dyno charts I've seen bigger valves have very 
significant impact on high-rpm power production.  The better combustion 
characteristics of the twin spark were gravy compared to the better 
breathing of the bigger valves.   They probably wouldn't have bothered 
to add all that complexity if they already had the big valves.
