Is it worth getting heads checked?

about to put a new cam lifters springs in my chrysler 383 68. Called the local machine shop to get a price they said it is wise to get hardened seats put in being it is when they used leaded gas. For milling, valve job and hardened seats its up to $500 does that sound about right. Figure I would be safe and get them checked and I would like to replace the head gaskets.
