Default Manifold milling

Two of my model A friends have a discussion going about milling the surface on the manifolds. One friend, who thinks anything can be fixed by throwing money at it, says that if you change one manifold or the other you must have a machine shop mill the surfaces. My other friend and I put together two manifolds and sighted them. They looked pretty good and we mounted them on the block with copper gaskets. No leaks. My take on it is that any small imperfections are are corrected with the gaskets. Isn't that what gaskets are for?
