depends on if you care how you sound to other people.
me, i tune them how i like, and if they don't like the sound if chosen, then they don't appriciate my genius!
Just kidding. To me, music is subjective, and unless you really are conscious of other people, don't worry about it. If you like the sound your drums are making, then you are happy. however, not having a good ear or tuning skills might be a reason to get one. Play around with them first, if you can't get it right, then go for it.
