Honing isn't going to affect size significantly. Absolutely get the cylinders measure before reassembling the engine!!!!! If a cylinder is out of round and you replace the rings which have worn into the appropriate shape you will most likely have massive amounts of blow-by and probably burn a lot of oil.... and it won't wear in.

Get them measured by a shop where they can measure the entire bore. Just measuring the top of the bore isn't going to tell you anything. A cylinder can warp so that a cross section looks like this |(, this () or this )(.
