All right everyone, I have the motor out of the car and I am wondering about new inserts before putting it back in.

Miami had all four mounts window welded. At first it seemed to be fine, but he found you could get the benefit of the stiffer mounts simply by using the fron tand rear, while keeping some comfort using the stock side motor mounts. This also keeps the engine from vibrating bolts loose as he pointed out as well.

This makes sense. the motion you want to keep flex down the most in is the fore and aft rotational motion the engine creates when reving. So the front and rear mounts are the most important. There is a thread from Miami on this in the forum. I believe he may have said that he is only conserned about the front motor mount in that thread.
