Have you miked the cylinders yet? You will need to if you plan on trying to get away with not boring. Be sure to check the top and bottom after honing to insure a proper reading.
Machine shops used to knurl piston skirts to refit pistons into worn bores. With the advent of modern electronics and machining, this practice has fallen by the wayside. You can ask your machinist if he has the equipment to do it, and if so, then I would recommend getting it done. Again, best thing is to simply do the nasty and bore.

Be sure to plastigauge the bearings to insure proper clearance. An extra thousands can mean the difference between good oil pressure and bad.
