has anyone dont this timing chain kit as preventative maintenance?

i've asked my indy shop about doing it, but they havent done one on an N20 yet. i'm closing on 86K miles and want to keep this car for the long haul as a winter / bad weather car and to help keep some miles off my inbound M2C.

i've loved everything about my 228ix ownership and want to keep loving it for another 5+ years, so it seems like this job would be mandatory if expecting to run it to 150K+ miles... thoughts?
