Default piston broke

just getting to grips with a winter rebuild of my spare yb turbo engine,
soon I will need some new pistons the old ones are shot!
to me the marle ones look they have come out of a massey ferguson from the turn of the century!!! I know everyone will speak up in their defence-sterling sevice and all that but i would like to move to a modern full slipper piston that would be both lighter and stronger,you cant beat getting your reciprocating mass down,can you???
I have been told CP do a piston fitting this description

standard mahle are excellent pistons; good for 500hp

if you want to go beyond 500+hp then yes CP pistons would be my choice
