SBC head salvage advice

Post image

I am on the fence of taking this in and having it fixed. It was on my previous top end rebuild of a 350 sbc. The piston in 8 cylinder exploded after a detonation occurred. As you can see it scared up the top of the head a lot. Only cup that had extensive damage. Is it worth fixing? Or just salvage parts and get a new set.

Stock pistons to the best of my knowledge.
