To rehone or not?

I have an 86 aero 50 that seems to run pretty strong for the time, but i was going to tear it down and clean it up.
I know it has been opened before because it has washers on one side of the head bolts. I wanted to get a piston and rings and gaskets and freshen it up while im cleaning the thing and replacing the final drive. I was curious if I have to get the bore rehoned or only if the walls are smooth?
Local shop quoted me about 30 bucks to rehone, and with the cost of that, I thought about just getting an airsal kit. I know the malossi kits are better etc etc. I just want to clean it up and give it a little added compression for the wife to ride during the summer.
The other option obviously is to just leave it alone, though I probably would like to change out the head gasket at the least.
