Resizing stock rods? Bad idea?

I have a 390, with stock 318 floating rods, before the 390, they ran a couple summers, (30K about) in a 318 with "heavy POS" TRW pistons, spinning at least 6500 twice a day, LOL, and before that, 200K in a 70 dodge work truck, so, as it stands, the rods have about 280K on them, I got them resized when I built the 390, and they said they "rrreeeaaallllyyyy ddddiiiddddddnt neeeeeeed it, but if you want us tooooooo"... I think they are the #062 rods. The ross pistons in my stroker are 586 g. About the same weight as the stock cast piston, granted, it doesn't go past 5500, and really over 4500, but the point I am making, is in the real live world, if you have a set of good old rods, in good shape, they more than likely are a better bet than a NEW set of untried rods, even if they are supposed to be better. God knows how I feel about new stuff, crane iron rockers breaking, my KBstroker piston seperating at the oil ring groove.... ugh....

So, IMO, spend the rod money on good pistons, LOL. (Did I say this a couple days ago??)
And if I was to use the "do as I say, not as I do" theory, I think Moper and wildnnutsguy are right on the money, 5500rpm? Nooo Prob.
