OP, I'm not understanding your opposition to decking the block? I do understand you are not wanting to Zero Deck the block, but you can have the block decked as much as needed to get the compression you want with whatever head you use. Does that make sense?
example: you want 9.2 to 1 static compression, depending on rods and pistons used you may end up needing the piston -0.30 in the hole, so you have the block decked to that spec. later if you need to surface the head you can and it will only slightly increase compression (0.007 off the head will raise CR to 9.3) Check out this Compression calculator run you numbers. I think you will find you are too worried about a minor detail.
