I am not trying to bash in this post, just trying to offer friendly advice to someone who wants a simple transaction with great results.
My experience with CPT:
I only went through CPT because my main builder was too backed up and chuck said 10-14 days to port and bore my cylinders. It was over a month before I got my cylinders back, and he was quite hard to get ahold of. When i received the cylinders, there were marks in the bore from one of his tools that caught my fingernail. I also found the transfer ports to be untouched towards the edges compared to other cylinders I've seen(yeah, I get 61x transfers are harder to port but I guess Im picky and expected better). Chuck did offer to go over everything again and it looked extremely good when I got it back. I also had a crank failure mid season and he hooked me up with a "quick" bore that was a promised 1 day turnaround which ended up taking two weeks. He'll make it right, but you get what you pay for in communication and turnaround time. I also have a few friends who had ridiculously long turnaround times as well.
I personally have not seen a Blue ported cylinder so I cannot compare it, but I have ridden one of his motors with his recommended jetting specs and I was impressed.
Again, just my .02 trying to help someone out so they don't get turned away from the sport. There are tons of great builders out there. HPE is my top choice but he's been super backed up due to location changes, otherwise I'd recommend him right now too. Everyone has their own preference.
In your situation,
@Blue is the no brainer thing to do. I don't know of anyone else who stocks ported top ends. I don't think there is anyone here who has been unsatisfied buying something through him. Hell.. He knows I run another builders cylinder, and has went out of his way to answer some of my tech & tuning questions when CPT couldn't.
