Thanks for the speedy follow-up Tony!

I´ve spoken to some team drivers in Germany abt. the topic and they recommended the 1,2mm pistons expressly. Their feelings were that the car seems to be more consistent (easier to drive?) and more forgiving over curbs because high speed damping is reduced.
Also Jilles tried it once, but I don´t know if he is still using the idea.

So I´m still wondering if I should give it a try...

I like the drilled pistons, but you have to use thicker oil, XRAY 30 or 35 otherwise it will be too light damping.
