Yes, you would. The brakes won't bed by themselves, regardless of how you drive or how many miles are on the car. I was testing a pre-production 350Z a couple years ago that had been used by the media. If anyone is hard on a car, it's Road & Track! Yet the brakes felt weak and were helped by a quick bedding session. You can see my write-up here: http://www.zeckhausen.com/Testing_Brakes.htm

How's Maplewood and good old Jersey? I was born and raised there, originally from Lyndhurst and that NAPA store on Ridge Road is my uncle's place. My family still lives there and I try to visit twice a year or so.
Maplewood is stunning right now, as all the flowers are blooming and the trees are filling out. It's the best time of the year - unless you have allergies.
