Ross makes about anything you could want in a custom piston. If the current ones are good and you don't want to replace or bore the block I'd certainly mill the head. If it's good it will handle a lot of milling but it would be wise to double check the valve clearances before having it done. I can't advise you on how much to remove to give you a point of compression increase but perhaps others can. I would consult Ross on this as it is their business and they have a lot of experience.
