Yes absolutely it would be cheaper to machine what you have further, if needed. As long as the pistons themselves are in usable shape.

Back when I did it, there wasn't an aftermarket forged dish piston available off the shelf for a 428 Pontiac. Just the 4 valve relief TRW flat top. They have plenty of meat, and are always accused of being heavy pistons anyway. So I just machined them to what I wanted, while removing some weight at the same time
