Yes, as I am not convinced that any of the retrofit bearings will necessarily have a better life-expectancy, or failure rate (and in fact, I am pretty confident that replacing your dual-row with the Pelican single-row and a spacer would be a retrograde step). That being said, when I eventually need to replace my clutch, since additional labour will be minimal, I will probably update with the LN bearing (and/or the pressurized oil system). At least I will then have a new bearing and, if nothing else, I suspect that eventual resale value would cover the cost of the bearing.

PS There is a link to a very lengthy thread under the pressurized oil thread from a couple of years ago - an interesting read as someone was positing that a dual-row should be inferior! What is significant, however, is that a number of people who replaced their dual-row bearings (and some with well in excess of 100,000 miles) found their original bearings to be in excellent condition.
