You're supposed to have your crank cut to fit the one size fits all bearings, which is a dumb thing to do on a Honda anyways. Get OEM
I agree that when using most new rods you can get away with standard size across the board, but you should still plastigage everything to be sure. People that just slap in STD ACLs or similar and don't check clearances are too lazy/cheap to do it the right way and will pay the price sooner or later.

Second reason: It will cost you less to get proper sized OEM bearings than pay for crank machining to fit your ACL greenies.
