Valve seats

Hi everybody,

I'm currently rebuilding my Alpine Mk4 engine, and wondering what to
do about the valve seats. The valves and the seats are worn, but
not burned as far as I can tell. Would it be better to have the
seats replaced, or just regrind the existing ones? I know the
car was built in the good old days of leaded gas...would it
be better to get harder seats now?

Thanks for any info,
