Then after "...only a few more bolts and I can........" (repeated several times), I ended up with a complete build including big bore, headwork, throttlebody, etc. 'Cam only' my ***. LOL More like "one-more-itis"
No regrets.

I started a build once that was supposed to be cam only. I was firm on that.

I have never run a Woods cam so I am not speaking from personal experience; however, I do speak to a couple of very competent head porters from time to time about cams and have been told that the 7H can be a bit noisy but that the 5-6 is very quiet. Maybe someone running a 7H can chime in?

I dunno Ed, I think the biggest difference between these two is the price. Other than that, they are so similar, that exhaust and tune will be where the difference between these two would show up.

The 48s should work well; designed for stock bagger application; pretty much a high lift version of the 26. There would be better cam choices than the TW6 for a 107" motor like the TW555 or TMans 555/590/625; just get the heads setup right.

I run my 54's at 10.4:1, but I am pushing the limits there. (206 ccp)
10.2:1 gives you one less thing to worry about without giving up squat.
