It's obvious there are plus points and minus points for each method. Just got to choose what suits you.

fitting a thicker h/gasket or decomp late is never the real solution as ideally you want as thin a gasket as possible to give better heat transfer from head to block ,thats why the jp4 has deeper combustion chambers and a thinner h/gasket --cos citroen were aware of the h/gaskets blowing on the original tj4 engine ,they first changed to an MLS gasket ,but when they did a redesign they still used MLS but made it thinner , better heat transfer
check out all modern design engine they all use very thin gaskets

you say use double gaskets rather then decomp..

but talk about heat transfer being poor through thicker head gaskets?, so why not use a thin mls and aluminium decomp..which will work as an extension to the combustions chambers to get your desired CR...and should transfer heat alot better then 2 large head gaskets

i understand your saying dont use that route to begin with... pistons ideally yes are then best route, but not everyone can/wants to budget for that

can you elaborate on this, as by your own logic your contradicting your own posts?
