How can I tell when I need a valve replacement?

I have a 1987 BMW R80/7. My mechanic tells me that the reason I find it difficult to maintain correct valve clearances is that the valves on this generation of Beemers are made of an alloy softer than the allow used in the valve seat ... he called this "valve recession" and showed me an eroded valve from his own late-70s bike. He said the solution is stainless steel valves - not a real huge job on these bikes (easily accessible heads and all).
I don't want to just swap valves unless it is real necessary. I have been checking the clearances every month or so, and making any necessary adjustments. But how can I tell when it is finally "time" to have the valves replaced? I don't want to be left high and dry on the roadside on some trip, but neither do I want to pay for the replacement prematurely.
Any suggestions?

If I was worried about it I would simply change them out. Other wise just keep checking them and keep riding. I usually don't swap out valves unless they are pitted, bent, or I can not get them adjusted within tolerances.
