It is actually better to degree the cam, especially for someone with a high-po motor setup, but, for anyone that doesn't have extensive engine work, just making sure the #1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke and lining up the timing marks is sufficient.

Yeah I hit LE with a PM yesterday, He said It'll be alright and that the main purpose is to make sure the cam is ground correctly as well as a few other things
