Default RE: Turbine life expectancy

This turbine is for a UAV that is going to cost me about $10k so I can't really afford a flameout on final or a total turbine loss since it will destroy the expensive electrical/machinery components close to it. I think the offset of a used engine is a bout $1000 on the average from what I've seen however, given the quoted service cost of $600 is it really worth it to purchase a used one?
