I find a lot of reassurance in both considering and also acquiring it prior to a clutch / flywheel failure.
The failures are not so much power related (although it can be a contributing factor) as they are material and fault related. Like a pane of glass with a scratch that breaks along the scribed line, the rotating assembly will break along some type of surface defect or internal flaw, which you can't see once you get to the right rpm.
You can buy new clutch parts, you can't buy new feet — or legs.
