Default piston suggestion for a 454

Hey buildin up a 454, it has 781 heads with 2.19/1.88 valves and some porting, lunati 60202 voodoo cam, edelbrock performer intake, 750 carb, and mallory dist. Want to upgrade the pistons, at the moment it has cast dished 2 valve relief pistons which is puting it around 8:1 comp. I would like to bump up to 9:1 but not go overboard on price, it looks like hypereutetic pistons will do just fine, i seen a speed pro piston and ring kit from jegs for $260, they are a mild dome and are good for 9.75:1 comp on a 101cc head so with a 118 cc i think it would be close to 9:1, does this seem ok?

they should work good, or look at Probe's forged pistons, they aren't much more $$ and a better piston.
