Well that thread just came out and it was handy to prove a point. Believe me - after almost 2 years here - it is not alone - not at all.
Again - it's a personal preference. If you can afford a total loss on the product as soon as the MAN's warranty expires - then save yourself some money.
If you don't feel comfortable with that - then explore an extended warranty.
Usually mechanical things go before electronic things - been my experience.
