To be perfectly fair, Street rider's suggestion to step the balance holes until you find the right amount is the better option, by using the scientific method and changing only small parts until you've reached the desired result is "the best" way to balance your crank. Jaguar's maths are only exactly good for his crank he tested. It does not account for variances between users such as different bearings, drilled pins, the blatant difference between a windowed and standard piston, types of clips and if shims are used ect.
Street has a method that always leads to the right amount for your engine, however jaguar went through the trouble of designing a set of formula to calculate what your need is based off (accurate) user input. A good ballpark would be to just undercut his computer generated guideline and then use street's step method to get you to the right answer as quickly as possible, since measuring connecting rod weight is mostly impossible for most people here, just estimating it is not really a fantastic solution if you can skip relying on it as part of the solution, just work your way up to it.
