That will have a lot more to do with tuning and than anything else. If your crossover is "dramatic" you should consider moving your VTEC engagement point. That usually means that you either aren't using the full power of your primary and secondary lobes (and should move the point up), or you are running those lobes to too high of an RPM, and running out of power (and should move the point down). Typically, modified Hondas like a slightly higher engagement point.

Well, tri-Y headers tend to be pretty pricey ($600+, but they do the job well), so depending on what equipment and price range you are looking at, you might not get to that sort of stuff. What you stated does hold true for inexpensive headers where the company is generally more concerned about selling a product than making horsepower.
