In theory, the point of Google Fonts is that it does user-agent sniffing to adapt the font and css to the user's browser, to get the best rendering. You would lose that advantage by hosting the fonts yourself.

In practice, I'd set up the CSS such that modern browsers render it beautifully and give a crap about older browsers. Or make a CSS for older browsers without that font.
