Just buy the "solution" and stop worrying.
You folks are looking at these cars all wrong. If you want cheap fun, buy a Miata.

Sorry. I'll just buy "The Solution". At least then you will sleep happy! Then I will take the money froom the sale of my 3rd car and invest it in the Miata you recommend.
I asked for advice really about whether it matters if I put an LN or Vertex or whatever else kind of IMS in the car. I should have known better than to expect sensible, unbiased advice.
My point about LN cornering the market - originally the retrofit was a lifetime for and forget. Then it changed. Now it is every 75k miles. I would do the same if I had invested time and more importantly $$$$ in developing a product only to see the market size become fixed and smaller after every product sold.
In reality, the bigger issue is that hype about the IMS failure has gotten to the point that people will not take a risk on a car that doesn't have it done as they prefer to not have to take care of it themselves and will pass on a car, unless it us ridiculiusly cheap and we are talking about way more than $1k off.....
