It all depends on your reason... whoever told you that it wasn't necessary
is probably going on the fact that you will NOT exceed the lift limitation
(though it's close) of the stock springs, but if you want to rev past the
factory design limit of the stock springs (which is going to be degraded by
the higher lift), then upgrade the springs.... so in short, if you want to
rev high enough (reliably) to use your new cam, get the new springs.
