Ignition Switch problems

I know this is a common problem with Porsche, but I am a new owner of a 2000 Boxster and during my first week of ownership the ignition switch would not allow me to turn the key. It would not even get to the first postion. Of course this happened with the top down and a rain storm coming at me fast. After 15 panic minutes of trying, it finally turned.

I am confused on the replacement. What i read is that all I need to do is replace the electical switch. The dealer say's i need to replace the whole switch mechanism, which looks like a gun, to fix my problem permanently.

Any advise before I pay over $500.00 to a dealer to have this done?
