Buying rockers, when is a 3/8 stud not enough?

I got a pretty good deal on a set of NSA Crane gold narrow body 1.6 RR's part #: 10759-16. The only downside is they are for 3/8 studs. I kinda wanted to go with 7/16's, but will the 3/8's be ok for me? I'll have a cc306 spinning close to 6800 rpm if that helps...I was told by one person to stay away from the 3/8's if i'm gonna spin that high, but I want a few more opinions before I pass up this deal Thanks

I had 3/8th studs when I spun my old motor to 6500 RPM with 1.5 comp pro mags...I had no problems.
