I think you made the right choice with that much cylinder wall taper or wear. Lots and lots of V8 Packards happily running out there with Egge pistons so for normal car use you should have no concerns, but since they are of a different construction than the OEM pistons, use Egge's piston-fit recommendations and not the original Packard specs which were for pistons with an autothermic strut to control expansion.
