Way faster and easier IMO.

With Round Stock:

-Cut Pieces to length

-Machine Softjaw for Both Side's/Flip

With Flat Bar:

-Cut to approximate length, depending on cam +- .25".
-No special jaw on the initial machining, will need one for the flipping of the wheel.

Also why would you use Round over Rect. Stock?
