I don't routinely replace timing chains and actually stay away from rolling a chain in due to the chance of upsetting the continuum making something else break.
The chain being worn is only the tip of the iceberg and guides might not be far away. What I'm afraid of is, when rolling a new chain in with lots of sharp edges here and there it might speed up the destruction of already worn out guides and if the wrong one break, it might ruin the engine so it will be this, ever since you touched it, scenario.
As a DIY person, you can certainly do what you feel is best but as a shop owner, I have to pick my battles and years experience have told me (most of the time) when to stay away.
To back it up, I don't see any Saab's coming in on tow trucks with broken timing chains. It was actually more common with the Saab's from late 70s and early 80s but I don't think I have had one since I opened 12 years ago.
It is a bunch of other reasons they come in on tow trucks but that's another story.
