Tranny whine advice? Erikkson's thought on it.

I emailed Nat Wentworth on his thoughts about pulling the tranny myself and having him replace the noisy probably pinion bearings. I stopped driving the car as soon as the noise started. Car is a 1990 CD in awesome shape besides the tranny whine. I am very tempted to let the car go and move on to a 9-5. Here is what Nat from Erikkson said about replacing the bearings. His qoute makes me think the money is better spent towards a 9-5.
Do you think anyone would be interested in buying the car if I put it on the classifieds here?
We can do just the bearings , but I worry about what else we will find. When the pinion bearings get loose we find the splines for the 5th gear worn, and had problems early on with these failing shortly after rebuild. If they are bad it requires replacement pinion and 5th gear. The units up to 93 are also prone to input shaft damge , especially to reverse gear. The bearings themselves are around $125 range, plus labor ($800-$1000 range)
