This will, however, make it very difficult to complete the Master tier for that mech since if you sold it before completing all the elite skills it doesn't count towards the requirements for Master.

The reason to not master a mech would be if you do not use modules. If you need to move on to another mech and don't feel the need to get an extra module slot then it is fine to basic three variants then sell the one(s) you don't want.

Personally ive sold many mechs before getting that mastery opened, mostly to save on space <I have about 12 mechbays> and some mechs I only played to open the basics to allow me to master another <better> mech of that kind <Cataphract 1x for example I sold once I had opened all the basics as it allowed me to open the elite tree on the better Cataphract 3D>
How you manage your mechs is up to you of course, and in an ideal world no-one would want to sell anything, but with mech bays costing real world money its hard to justify keeping all the mechs ive played when I will only consistently play with a few favourites.

Pretty much.
If you can stomach getting a mechbay for each new one, I would highly recommend it.
The c-bill return you get for selling a mech is pretty pathetic, and you never know what will change gameplay wise making some mechs more valuable than others.

So you can get 1 cicada, 1 hunch and 1 kintaro to 4/4 elite and that unlocks master for any other 4/4 elite medium mechs.
If you plan to play more than one chassis from a particular weight class you can unlock master by getting 4/4 elite on any 3 mechs in the weight class allowing you to continue on with your favorites. I did this with my lights. After getting my 8/8 for the 3 chassis I wanted I sold off the variants I disliked and just elited the one i planned to keep. Did this for Jenners, Spiders and Ravens.
If for example you plan to play only Hunchbacks from medium then you keep your 3 untill they are all elite if you want master on any particular one.

There are 8 Basic skills, complete all 8 on 3 varients of the same chassis (e.g. 3 Jenners) to open up Elite skills, after the basic skills are completed for a varient you are free to sell the mech, but only do so if you are sure you will not want it again. the skills stay and if at some later point you buy another of that mech they will still be there
There are 4 Elite skills, complete all 4 on a mech and the basic skills are doubled (this is exceptionaly useful for a mech you plan to keep using), do this with 3 mechs of the same weight class (e.g. a Jenner, a Sider and a Firestarter) to open up Master for that weight class.
There is 1 Master skill (an extra module slot), this unlocks nothing extra
