DI cassette failure today

Hi All,
2001 95 Aero 74,500 miles
Purchased the car used in 9/04 with 66,000 miles
Car runs great - Other than this morning :(
Started my car this morning and the engine light stayed on. Drove the car for a few minutes since I was taking my kids to school...turned around and took my other car.
Called the local Saab dealer. Never got a call back so I drove the car to the dealer anyway. Informed the service tech of the problem, had them do an oil change, and was asked by the tech if I wanted to balance and rotate my tires. I agreed.
An hour later, I got a call. I was told that the engine light was on because the engine was mis-firing due to the DI cassette. It also needed new plugs and an update to the computer software. I told the tech to make sure he loaded the Aero and not the Linear software :)...Total price for the cassette, new plugs, software update, and labor.....$735 ...I gave my OK.
Got a call 2 hours later. Car was done. Total cost...$898...WOW!!! This includes the DI, oil, and balancing work.
Car does seem to run stronger than it has been running. Maybe my imagination. Maybe I was able to sense the impending doom of the DI.
