Using thicker heads to make up for milling?

So... I am in the process of getting some used 60cc heads. Down the road some years, I want to add a Magnuson 2300. So... What are the pros and cons of using thicker head gaskets to make these 60cc heads. Like Comtec .075" to get back to close to stock.

Send a PM to MAVN, he's using .75 gaskets on one of his builds.
