Head Gasket lifespan?

I regret bringing this up. I imagine it has been talked to death. I am thinking of selling my NG 900S and buying a 1990-1993 900 turbo. I would most likely buy one with 60-80k on it. I heard of one for sale near me with 79k on it . Head gasket not done. I saw one on TSN classified with 60k on it and had head gasket done. Do you think that 50% of engines get head gasket replaced? I recall reading that the 2.1 was the same block as the 2.0 and just bored out to get bigger pistons in it and therefore more prone to head gasket probs?
If I buy the '93 900 turbo with 79k on it I think I will save/budget an extra $1000 for HG job.
Is it odd that the '90 900T had the head gasket done at 60k?
Thanks
