The only benefit to a cool head is being able to switch domes. 

is that a benefit?

Why to you want to screw up your engine design by using the right head one day and the wrong head another day.   

It is the total engine design: ports, pipe, reeds, carb head and ignition timing that determines what octane fuel your engine needs.

Just changing the compression ratio does not have a large influence on the octane rating that your engine needs unless you reduce the compression to the point that it makes power like a 250.  If you reduce your compression ratio this much, your pipe and ports will be a mile out of tune with each other. 

Most of this stuff about using different heads or domes so that you can have a engine that can run on any fuel began when the billett heads were first started.  I am not sure if was a marketing campaign to sell you more domes after you bought a billet shell or if it was absolute ignorance about the intricate design and understanding of high performance two strokes on the part of the billet head industry.
