Default Comp Cam rockers replace the supplied nuts?

Installing 1.52 comp roller tips with zz4 cam and noticed a lot of guys now using posi-locs instead of the loc nuts supplied with the roller tip rockers
is it worth doing or waste of money?

I used the loc nuts when I had the Comp roller tips with no problems.GM thought they were alright for millions of SBC
You have to use posi's with full roller rockers because of the way they mount on the stud

However, they make it easier to adjust the lifter preload than factory loc nuts ... not much easier but a little (have stock on the impala and CC full roller on the Vette.
