If you are going to go through the trouble of tossing a set of rods in, it would make very little sense to not also put a set of pistons in. It's kind of like replacing a clutch and not replacing the throw-out bearing. You are in there anyway so you might as well eliminate the other potential weak point. Budget and performance are a difficult concept to juggle. I recommend saving up and perhaps dialing your tune back until you can afford to break stuff.
