Default HVR vs Calvin Elite trigger

I need another trigger for a medium game hunting rifle and am torn between the Timney Calvin Elite (CE) and the Jewell HVR. I would like to try the CE but it has a maximum weight of 2.5 pounds. The good old HVR with the right spring has a maximum weight of 3.0 pounds.

I like a trigger that is three pounds or less but no lighter than 2.5 pounds in most medium game rifles. I do like a three to three and a half pounds in a heavier game rifle, half of that in a varmint rifle, and just a few ounces in a target rifle.

The CE is a not quite as costly as the HVR and I have been looking for an excuse to try one, but the pull weight range bothers me a bit. As of now it looks like the HVR is more suited for me but this simple decision is giving me vapor lock.
