VN1700 pistons to raise 1600 comp ratio

Sure the 1500 Mean Streak pistons are the easy choice. But I've not seen any data that confirms the 1500 Mean Streak had higher compression ratio numbers than the 1600 Classic engine. Looking at the pistons there is an obvious visual difference but is there an actual comp ratio difference? The rated comp ratio for the 1700 is 9.5:1.

For both the VN1500 Mean Streak and the VN1600 Classic the rated comp ratio is 9.0:1.
