In any event mine has about 450 minutes on it without a hiccup, I'll run it until it needs service or the plane meets a more gruesome demise and have it upgraded at that time.
If I had 400 minutes on mine I would probably do the same and just wait for the 25 hour, however mine only has about 1 hour on it. I sure don't want to lose a jet because of a failed component. I would prefer to send it in and get it upgraded.
