Vacuum Pump Rebuild -Foolish Not to Replace Bearings?

I am considering rebuilding my vacuum pump (later style -'82 SD) and notice that the rebuild kit is fairly expensive and does not include bearings. Many suggest on this site that catastrophic bearing failure is what takes these pumps out along with the engine. Seems foolish to rebuild pump without pressing in new bearings which are apparently not difficult to source -thoughts on this?
