Others may flame for this, but I think it's worth it to upgrade the bearing and run it for an hour and change the oil again. Your biggest gamble is on the labor to R&R the engine a second time.
I suppose there is a remote possibility of clogging a cam oiler which would lead to additional expense, but other than that there's not much you could destroy that you wouldn't replace if you split the case now instead of later...
