There is no noticeable difference to a larger bore. Not in the sizes we are talking about.
Smaller bores will preserve the integrity of the block. The 302 isn't known for its strength, so don't make it any worse.
The cost will depend on what you have done.
I have paid 3-400 for a bore/hone/clean job.
My current build is costing a little more... $800
The block has been decked square andthe main bore had to be straightened. The bores were taken .040 over (on a 351w block), and the bore hone was done with a deck plate.
It will cost a little more for higher quality work...
