They are nothing more than a tuning tool. Some cams will be OK without them, some will not. If you get HKS or FP cams, they are not a neccesity. You might want them for other brands though.

I had them from my 2.0L, so I used them to degree my cams to the 2.4L since both the block and head where machined.

I degree'd mine and the cams are timed straight up, but I had to re-notch the degree mark to compensate for the difference between the 2 engines. But at least I know they are timed correctly. Once I get the car to a dyno I will play with the cam timing to get the best power curve.
