A frequent refrain here is "check the valves".

My question is: how much does this matter? Assume "normal" sloppy valves (otherwise sound condition - just worn and leaking). How much does it cost to re-groove them? How long does this typically take?

The point is: does this need to be a deal-killer on an instrument that is otherwise "just what i was looking for"? Or, is it a ReallyBigDeal?
