Default Will a grinded crank be any good?

I dont know the right word for it in english, but as a part of my engine rebuild i got my crankshaft grinded .25 mm and got bigger bearings in it. It has been done by a proffesionel machine shop and it looks really good. But some people says it wont last, could that be true if the job is done correct? Has anyone got experience with this on an YB engine?

Most of what you hear about reground cranks being no good is pure crap.
I certainly wouldn't be worrying under 500bhp, much more important the crank clearance is good.
