I don’t know...I think I’d just save the $15k, sell the roller and invest the $17k-$18k in a later 987.

That's if you like the look. Personally, I'm not a fan of the side intakes shape of the 987. Something about the smaller side intakes of the 986 I like. So much so that' I've been eyeing that Joe Toth 986 side scoop for a year now. Almost ready to slap one on.

That assumes that it was assembled correctly, installed correctly. The best of intentions sometimes don't turn out perfection.
I'd never say anything was bullet proof.

Yes you're right, nothing is bullet proof. It sounds like BYProdriver knows what he's doing he's been driving a near identical engine he also built for a few years.

9 years since I was in Jake Raby's 1st M96 engine rebuild class.

Like I've said before, if my car was a 5 chain engine instead of the 3 chain version I would have bought your ready to go engine instead of having mine rebuilt with the 3.6 LN Nickies. Those alone cost $5k and have a minimum 6 month wait due to the precision platers used by LN. One day someone will get this and be very happy!
