I hope that a buyer looking at a couple Boxsters may be swayed to buy the car with the best maint history, condition and all other things equal.

Good on you. A car offered for sale with a specific mention of pro-actively replacing the IMSB is a buy signal of enthusiast-ownership. It's impossible to calculate but I'd be of the opinion that you fall into a very small % of total Porsches owned. Which is not necessarily to say that every enthusiast has done the swap. One of our forum members has over 300K miles logged and was still on the original bearing. But that was someone who kept up with very strict maintenance practices and didn't leave the car around to sit/rot, obviously with that sort of mileage.
