Yes you would need someone with enough knowledge to design PCB properly but the making of them is easy once designcompleted, and not so expensive.
R&R of the IC's I agree is not easy and not without risk. Acquiring a supply of these would make this a go for me. Calibration, service would be much simplified and these beasts would survive much longer this way.
