in your situation i think of it this way, the LNE bearing replacement will last you another 80k miles (or more). It took you 14 years to put 80k miles on your car at which time you will be just about 80 and the car will be 32 years old with close to 200k miles on it. Translation - at that point and at your age 14 years from now the solution wont add any value to a car that old with that many miles on it.
Also, with yours being a 2000, you could pull the tranny and have a factory dual row bearing in which the LNE bearing replacement should never need to be done again. Your call, but for the extra $1,000 difference (at least) i'd say there's a lot better places to spend that money. with 113k miles, i'm sure there's more that needs/will need replacing soon (think suspension).
just my $.02
