Yes it is worth getting. More displacement means you get the much needed torque us honda guys need, and a big bump in horse power. Now if you do this you need to go through the whole head as well with a good PnP job w/ some larger cams to feed the extra displacement. Do not do if you don't have atleast 8 grand for all the work, parts, and possible screw ups probably more like 10 grand. Or if your going to do the work yourself.

For B-series motors, resleeving to a larger bore is a better idea.
Most stroker kits use either a modified B20A crank (note, this is the old Prelude engine, not the 89mm-stroke CR-V B20B/Z motor) or a billet crank.
The long-stroke B20A crank is not as well balanced for high-rpm operation as the B18 cranks, and billet cranks are not as strong as OEM Honda cranks.
Then there's the issue of rod ratio, which is already about as low as one would want in a B-series. Moving the wrist pin up can allow for a longer rod, but at the expense of increased wear on the rings.
IMO, there are just too many compromises involved in increasing the stroke of a B-series.
That money would be much better spent on a resleeve with ~85mm bores.
