"Going to hardened seats is not necessarily required in all cases."

When I had my engine rebuilt, I had read arguments on both sides, so I
asked the engine guy. I was told that for a "street" engine that gets used
for 3000 miles a year, there is no reason to install hardened seats. If you
plan to spend time at high RPM, it's recommended. Just another data point.
