Replacing rotors, replace bearings?

Vehicle in question is an '88 bronco with Dana 44 IFS, manual hubs.

I'm replacing my rotors, and the new rotors I bought already have the bearing cups pressed in. So I'm thinking "sweet, one less thing to deal with". But then I read the 'ol chilton's and it says that if I'm putting in new bearing cups, I should replace the bearings as well The bearings I have on there are less than a year old, do you still think I should replace them?

Thanks.

Thats what they say. However, I've been mixing and matching them for years and have had no problems.As long as there in good shape I wouldn't worry about it.

That's what I figured. With <10k miles on these bearings, i can't imagine they are worn down that much. Thanks for the response.
