Just curious why you are asking for advice when you obviously are going to go with what your engine builder says...

Who is also clearly a fu*king idiot BTW. I can make a 400HP motor out of your stock, non-rebuilt motor, that does not make it a good idea.

Is this your mechanic by any chance?

lol,
OP, you need to put new bearings. just my .02, but hey, it's your engine, so do whatever you / your engine builder want.

But why should he trust you? What do you know of the bottom end of a Honda engine?

I am going to assume by the OP's lack of response that they were either put in their place or gave up here entirely.
Don't get me wrong, I try not to take the internet too seriously, but I have been on "the scene" long enough to know what Golden Eagle is and that they know what to do as far as transforming Honda blocks to make serious power...

More power to OP or their builder if we ever hear from them again, chances are not...
