I'd keep the stops, never know when you'll want 'em - they do make repetitive work a lot quicker, once you've set them up on the first part you don't have to watch dials, just crank the handles until you hit the stop - I refine it a bit with spacer blocks for stepped cuts, piece of shim for the last-but-one cut - whip it out (ooer Mrs) and set speed and feed for the finish cut. On the carriage feed I have a gauge tray and micrometer stop, same/similar procedure, makes my life in my hobby workshop easier and a lot more productive!
