Is your DIC dead right now? If not, why replace it?

If you want peace of mind and your current DIC is working just fine, buy the second one as a spare, leave it in the packaging and store it in your trunk (along with a torx driver to replace it if it fails while you're on the road). There is no way to know when a DIC is going to fail unless obvious symptoms are evident. When you go to sell your car and your DIC never fails, you can sell the one in the box "as new -- in original packaging".
If it ever fails while you're on the road, it would probably take about 5 mins to replace it on the side of the road. It's a waste of $$$ to replace a perfectly fine functional one. Also, spark plugs not included.
