Hi Simon,
I suspect a good second hand rod would be wiser.
If you have the little end machined you will also have to have the pistons machined to suit which will mean more work and expense.
If the little ends are worn that means the pinch bolt has been loose or broken.
This often leads to the rod splitting downwards from the gudgeon pin, so get your rods crack tested before any work is done on them.
You might find a rod that just needs to be bored to suit your crankshaft if you are lucky.
