Depends on your buget,you can get a 84mm crank for 250-275,but to get a 90mm full circle it cost more.You can get a 84mm DPR for $360

When the cam needs to be clearanced ---why not mill it flat instead of grinding? Wouldn't that be easier to keep it balanced? Just asking - i have not had any larger crank than 82mm. Mark

We machine flats on cams that go in a big stroke engine.
Taking an equal amount off each side negates any worry about balance.

Taking the same amount off each side.
The notch is so close to the centerline of the camshaft I don't think balance is an issue.
Never heard of anyone balancing a cam.
Besides that the lobes would have more effect on balance than a notch ever could.
The cam only turns half crankshaft speed too.
I'd more concerned about other parts being in balance.
IE crank, flywheel, rods and

I agree. The camshaft has such a small amount of rotating mass that it does not matter. Get it fairly close and it will be fine.
