Message :adding the stroker kit is probably only about 2-3k more than going with stock displacement, which seems a bit more reasonable.

Custom billet crank is 3500, custom rods are 1200, custom pistons = XX, depending on which piston mfg you go with

:Any idea what bearings this kit uses?

Stock VG30 bearings

I should hope they are quite a bit beefier than stock to accommodate the higher piston speed. If it also removes the rod bearing weakness of the vg30 than thats a big check in the pro's column.

The geometry of the crank prohibits wider bearings if you plan on keeping a reasonable rod journal fillet radius. Making the rod journal wider decreases the crank material between the main and rod journal, which ultimately will weaken the crank.
:Either way, im not forking over for it :)

Don't blame you there...
