MOTM

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,
