One thing you aren't considering is that the OE joint in your axle is of much better quality than a rebuilt joint in a replacement axle. Just take the axle out and replace the boot. It doesn't matter if it has a little bit of dirt contamination, just clean it as best you can and it will be fine. The Lobro joints that SAAB used were extremely good quality. The boot is a $20 part, and takes less than one hour to do. I'm cheap too, but I replace those boots on my cars at the first signs of failure.
If you were in PA like me, the cv boot is a safety inspection item, and you'd have to choice but to replace it for state inspection.
