Default PR3 pistons Vs P30 pistons is the Xtra $$ worth 10 hp?

i have the chance to get some PR3 pistons (USDM B16) off E-bay for 150 shipped
or P30 pistons 215 shipped!
Is the xtra 65$ worth the difference between the two?

how much boost could i give my B16 with a comp ratio of 8.5:1??
I've been looking at taking my B16 back to stock and then boostin it 7-10 psi
i have a guy that can tune it for roughly 261/200 at 10 psi.
Should this be allright on a stock JDM B16?
