This depends on where you do it.  There is no reason why your move ordering
techniques should be the same everywhere in the tree.  It makes sense to do
more expensive calculations in moves far from the leaves.  For instance, you
could try to use your SEE for non-captures at all nodes where the remaining
depth is two plies or more.  I doubt that the cost will be noticable at all.
