sooooo Houston, Novarossi team piston.. it's like all hemispherical or whatever, the top isn't flat, right? But the cheaper cast piston, appears to be flat?

How much of a difference in performance would you say the team piston makes, as compared to the cheaper cast flat one?

Not much. The cast one is actually lighter. However, I can tell you from onroad use that the cast ones are not as durable. I have a nicely broken one floating around here somewhere. Seem to hold up fine for offroad though.
