Default head swap questions

is it worth a drop in .64:1 compression to go from 241 heads to a slightly better flowing 317 heads? it would take me from 11.10 to 10.46 and my dcr from 8.77:1 to 8.27:1 from what i read in the FAQ the 317's flow about 15-20 cfm more than the 241. need some help here.

.o15-.025 is the most ive gone
.030+ might interfere with intake/heads bolt alignment.
