2008 9-3 Clutch replacement options

I am the second owner of a 2008 9-3 that the previous owner reprogrammed the turbo controller and it puts out a ton of torque. The cost is that at 85K the clutch is starting to show signs of slippage on hard acceleration in 3rd and 4th gears.
My question is it worth the cost to upgrade to the dual-mass clutch and flywheel? Not just for the parts, but is there a difference in the labor to do the job vs. just replacing the standard clutch and letting it last for another 50K or so?
Long time C900 owner (and since Christmas, again!) who loved working on his car. But these GM-Saabs...ugh. Just not built with maintenance or repair in mind.
Thanks!
