The MOTM kits don't come with dip sockets. I prefer to socket the ICs just
incase I need to replace or swap a chip for any reason. I have a lot of dip
sockets laying around doing nothing. I know if I just go ahead and socket
the chips, I will be told afterwards that I should not have. So I might as
well ask the question before doing so. Is there any reason I should not
socket the ICs?

Thanks,
