Balance Chain on 2.3L

To All,
It seems to me in the last few months the balance chain going and destroing the engine has become more than a common problem on the 2.3L non turbo. Most as myself claim regular and timely oil changes. As I told the SAAB dealer a car with 70k to 100k miles should not have $1800/2500 maintenance bill. I bought I SAAB becuase the engine would go 250k miles.
My question is how many others out there have had the balance chain go or have been warned by their mechanic that it may be on the way out. Could this be a serious design flaw? I beleive SAAB is very aware of this problem and has warned their dealers of the flaw. My SAAB dealer was replacing the balance chain in three 900s (1/95 and 2/96) when I had mine done. (Cost 1853.00)
Feed back would be appreciated.
