Would you run press fit pins in a performance build?

Street/strip - 6500rpm max

Stock crank
Eagle SIR 6.605" with press fit pin
Diamond pistons


I have quite a few bucks in just machine work and i'm wondering if it's a real downside to run this combo with a press fit pin instead of bushing the small end.

Thoughts?

I don't expect to take it down for maintenance.

While I've never read of people having pin migration problems, that could be a reason to avoid a press fit deal.

So maintenance is the only reason for bushed pins????
