Maximum DI lifespan

Hello,
After finding out about the DI issues here, I asked my Saab Indy master technician about carrying a spare in the past. His reply was he saw DI lasting anywhere from 20K to 200K miles. After reading the threads here, it seems like on average, DIs are being preemtively replaced around 100K-120K mile range, if not much much sooner. Since my original DI is in that range, I started to worry more and more and finally decided to purchase a new one. I know that the DI breaks down due to heat.
My question to everyone reading this is how long did your original DI last until it died on you? Do you think, with 5000 mile fully-synthetic oil change with dex-cool coolant, can control the heat and that the original DI can last 200K miles?
