How often or how many times should I pot up?

This is my first time growing tomatoes from seed, and so far I am thrilled at how easy it is! I planted on April 7th, and over the next week most sprouted. I potted up all the seedlings to 4-inch pots just last week on the 17th. They are doing incredible! I have true leaves on most plants, and I cannot believe how healthy they look.

They're getting so tall already though- and while it's only been 5 days since I repotted, I wonder how often I should do it. When I re-potted, I buried most of the stems, leaving just a smidge under the first leaves. Now they already stand 2-3 inches up, and I don't want them to get leggy. Is there something I should be looking for so I know when to re-pot again? They are all heirlooms if that makes a difference.
