Default 302 vs 306

At one time i was going to get a brand new block and bore it to a 306. Anyways I was reading an article by a guy who said that a 306 will not produce any more power then a 302 and that actually the weight of a bigger piston needed will make it have even less. This sorta goes against what i was thinking...

Is this true? It made me think would it have been worth boring the new block? And now that i have a used block (much cheaper) should i not bore it all the way to a 306?
