Default Battle of the MiniMe (d16y7 vs. d15b7)

Hey im planning on building a mini me swap for my del sol. I have a d16z6 head and i have a d15b7 block and a d16y7 block as well. Now i heard u get more compression with the d15 block but u lose .1 liters to the d16. So im unsure which would be a better choice and y. Ne help on a solution please?

The compression will he higher on the d15b7 because they have flat top pistons (pm3), but I would still stick with a d16 block. The reason is because they have more support for it when you want to upgrade later. The d16 will be better in the long run, but do what you want.

I run a a d15 but its kind of a one off setup. I use d15z1 rods (137mm) and p29 pistons, but compression is pretty high without running a thick headgasket.
