As John implied, the small amount of cubic inches (inch?) gained seems, even though every little bit counts, hardly worth it, unless there's an ulterior motive.

Dave, Years ago , some crank strokes turned up short in teardown. NHRA decided there might be an advantage in altering the b/s ratio. They decided the limit would be + or - .015.
Of course come crank companies began to offer "rules rider " cranks at + .013..So it began..
Not a lot there, but you might as well take it. Plus, a smaller crank pin can't hurt, can it?
