Default re skimming ceilings

hi my property has sound but unattractive ceilings. they are all
generally sound (no cracks/stains) but are finished with a bobbly/
stipply effect. also there are some strips visible, like tape has been
removed or something, so there are flat lines about 2 inches thick
once or twice.

i'm just after some views on whether getting them re skimmed is worth
it. obviously it will look nicer having flat smooth ceilings but is it
worth the cost now. or better to wait til they actually need doing?

i have read sarah beeny's property ladder book and got some tips but
she doesn't mention ceilings, only getting walls re skimmed if you
want a modern contempary result.
