If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

My 2003 Boxster S now has 117k miles on it. I was quoted $4,000 to do a IMS Solution upgrade and $3,000 for a LN IMS bearing upgrade. Please note I have a Tiptronic transmission, so the labor cost is higher. From my understanding the engine has to come out with the Tiptronic trans. EDIT: This may not be the case after checking some more on it.

So, if you were in my shoes with a engine with that many miles on it.

Would you

Have the IMSB upgrade done?

or

Leave as is, and get another engine when this one fails?


Either way the engine has to be pulled. EDIT: This may not be the case after checking some more on it.
