I would not rule out the 911 because of this issue. Not everyone has one nor will develop one. I would be happy to chat with you on this further. I have a 911 for sale (I am a dealer) and know a fair amount about them.
BTW-A good independent shop can do the job for a bit less than the number you quoted.
I also know about the XK8 and frankly, all exotics have there issues. Xk8s have timing chain and block metal issues as well.
You can call me at 760-522-7327 if you want.
Good luck
