I wouldn't hesitate.
With the replacement policy in place, I think used prices will tick 
upwards a little.
And if something does happen, then you'll get a full CLA along with a 
new sensor; basically a new camera.

The funds I've been setting aside, which I had been planning to use to 
replace my M9 in a couple of years, are now going to go towards a lens 
or two.
