A very big factor here is that the likelihood that your N will ever do any real work is very low. While you have the pan off to remove the pistons you can check two things that will make the difference between 200 and 400. Those are sleeve taper and rod bearings. They can both be checked as part of ring replacement. First is rod bearing wear. after removal of one piston check for copper showing on the rod bearings. If copper shows, it is foolish to put them back in, but they don't cost that much anyway. Second is sleeve wear. You can eyeball this as you push the rod/piston assembly up from below, by watching the ring end gap as the piston slides up from bottom to top. You need to check your book for the spec, but this will give you a good idea of degree of taper of the sleeves. If the taper is too great compression will still not be good with new rings. These two checks can be performed without spending any more $ than you are already into it for.
