86T New Clutch, Dolalrs & Sense, Wives, etc

Apparently I have a bad pinion bearing and at 150K on the original, time to to a complete clutch job. I've been eyeing these performance replacements at Swedish Dynamics -- aluminum flywheel, oversize pinion upgrade, kevlar clutch kit. I feel like a woman in the Nordstroms shoe department!!! My irrational side says "do it, you've saved all this money over the last 12 years by not buying new SUV's like your buddies, now is a great opportunity to give that car some new energy" Then my practical side says "No that $600 repair is now suddenly $600+$1000=$1600, which is about the bluebook value of the car, besides there's that on-going home improvement project, the kid's future college, etc. It's not like I'm doing autocross or anything, I basically just drive it to work each day 7 miles round trip!" BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, My wife has NO CLUE whether a new clutch should cost $500, or $2500!!! Hmmm..... Has anyone actually done any of these upgrades and regretted it? Or determined the most cost-effective way to do the upgrade?
