This is pretty simple.
OEM and OEM-like IMS's fail - total cost is $165 + labor + cost of replacement engine + installation labor. LN IMS's don't fail - total cost is $849 + labor. So if you want to roll the dice, the dollar delta is the cost of a replacement engine + installation labor - $684 difference in the price of the parts.
To sum up: the bet is: $684 v $,$$$s to replace a failed engine.
