GT17 Turbo Rebuild Time

I'm facing a second DIY rebuild of my GT17 turbo for my 1999 2/3 lpt 9-5. Parts are a lot more available than they were 5 years ago. Assuming I have no turbine spindle wobble or any other non-repairable issues, is there any reason not to buy a complete rebuild kit from Fleabay ($60-$100)and splurge on the improved overlap design oil bearing from Swedish Dynamics ($25)? I suppose I could buy their complet rebuild kit ($150) but would still have to buy the upgraded oil bearing. Hardest part in all of this and even with a complete new turbine cartridge is the taking out and putting in of the turbo unit!! I have 5 year old hand scrape scars to prove it!!
Thanx,
Kirk D
