Skimming pistons on 2.0 zetec

I have read on a website that the 2 litre pistons cannot be skimmed to lower the compression as they are a weaker material to the 1.8 is this true?

Cheers

i've read somewhere that pistons from a silver top engine are ok to skim as they have thicker crowns than the blacktop ones
