That makes some sense.
When costs are looked at, also look at if the piston is coming with a ring pack. As an example, my DSS pistons were a bit over $800.00, but came with the rings. The SpeedPro's may be around $400.00, but you're going to need to add rings to that, so the prices can start to narrow a little bit.
I will say that the previous engine build had the old TRW pistons in it. That engine still made great power even with a heavy piston and an old style ring pack.
I do think for a street only application where you may want quiet operation over anything else, a Hypereutectic piston is probably the best bet. You'd just have to know that if your plans for the car changed in the future, they may become a liability.
