If you did Subaru head gaskets only and you had them stacked deep, I could see this manual method being beneficial because it takes several days for the machine shop to turn it around on top of the cost.
the machine shop provides extra value too, not just resurfacing. they should also check the valve guides, and check for leakage, relap valves etc.
