Compstar or Lunati sledgehammer crankshaft

I am collecting parts for a 383 LT1 build. I have the top end parts ( LE heads, comp NSA pro mags, Ported intake, 58mm throttle body, headers , 3 in exhaust and etc).
Please help me decide which crank to buy. I will be using the scat 7/16 pro comp 6in rods and mahle -16cc pistons(have these parts). I can purchase the lunati crank for $70 less than the compstar so the price is about he same. I am concerned with finish and balance ease of the crank. I want to avoid having to pay for extra work to get the crank in spec.
This will be for B body week end driven and maybe 375 to 390 RWHP.

The Lunati is a good crank and you want to make sure to get the one cammed for 6" rods so it is easier and cheaper to balance.
