pistons pins. pressed or bushed?

the bushed pistons are the same price as the pressed, and the bushed rods are only $20 more. if I get the bushed ones, I can assemble them myself. I know its a pain in the ***, but I can do it myself nonetheless, saving money in the end. other then price, whats the diff. between them? arent the bushed ones beter? is there a weight diff? will one live longer? will one save HP by less frictional loss?

The bushed or "floating" pins have always been used by racers to free up every little bit of hp from friction.
