If the dish is done right, so that it mirrors the shape of the combustion chamber, you have a very ideal setup. Good quench can be maintained using this method, as opposed to just using a big round dish.

At that point however, you've probably spent the cash to just go with a different set of heads, and not have to tear down the short block to replace pistons.

Since we're talking about a limited budget, changing the heads it going to be the best option.
