Restringing GM Yamahas

I'm about to restring a 1975(?) Yamaha C7E, you know one of the 
recent japanese emigres. Evrything is orginal and after two VT 
winters is holding together quite nicely. The pinblock grip during 
the summer is  solid, and in the dead of winter is "workably" loose. 
(The board has a DC, but the room is too large to humidify.) Does 
anyone have any experience with the expected life of such a block 
restrung with 3/0 x 2-1/2" pins? I'd go for that rather than 4/0 x 
2-3/8,  the 3/0x2-1/2 size would spread out the impact of the o'sized 
pins out through a longer hole.

Does anyone have any long-term experience with these block (you now, 
from the old country) especially when jumping up a pin size or two?

PS attached is a very informative look, broadcast over NPR recently, 
into the eastern Islamic world, notably Afghanistan and Pakistan. 
Both countries were created in the first years after WWII, the map 
having been divided in such a way as to insure conflict as a 
stabilising system. The partitioning of Palestine is another example 
of this style of "nation-building"
