Where do I go from here (IMS)

Well I just got my car back from the shop, did some major work, got through emmisions, it passed and it's running great.

But the shop, which is LN certified for the IMS retrofit, told me my engine is not a candidate due to cam deviations, one side is -4.8 and the other side is -7.6. No Ferrous metal in filter.

So what is my next move? Do I keep this car? Do I throw money at an engine that might be on the way out or do I just drive it, not worry about it and just do regular maintenance. Maybe buy a Dura metric and keep an eye on the cams and bail out at some point? Then I would be out the money I've already spent which is substantial.

I really love the car and it is in a somewhat rare color combination that I have not been able to find in another car over the last year.

Just musing here all opinions are welcome.
