I changed mine over a couple of years back while pulling the transmission to deal with a 2nd gear synchro issue, car had around 30k miles on it. The stock IMS Bearing was as tight as a drum, no looseness or play. Was I upset at dropping $600 on the LN bearing? Not one bit. Upon selling the car last year that repair / replacement was a major selling point for my car vs. other Boxsters up for sale, no way to amortize the cost but I likely got most of the money back.
I don't know why anyone would not go ahead and replace the IMS bearing while it was accessible as a result of another repair. Peace of mind, resale value, etc. My 2 cents.
