True. However here is another look:
If you are not 100% sure that your cooling system is up to par why potentially waste a brand new set of housings while working out cooling issues?
With all the know-how accumulated on this list that is probably not a big issue any more.
But if unsure and staying within easy glide distance from your airport during initial testing it may be the way to go for some...
If using the teflon o-rings from Tracy, they can be reused when rebuilding with pristine housings.
Rotors is another matter entirely as Ed has pointed out. If grooves are out of spec don't use.

Look guys, you can run on old housing pretty well, but why? For less
than $1000 you can buy two brand new housings and get the best
compression, most power and greatest longevity. I say buy new
housings already.

Nope. I flew some 575 hours on pure junk housings. Compression not all
that great.
