Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild???

I have a Threshold Stasis 2 in wonderful cosmetic condition, but one channel went flooey. I contacted Jon Sondenberg and he will do a rebuild/upgrade for a little north of 1300 bux.
Jon said that the rebuild/upgrade would put the amp in the sonic category of a Pass Labs 250.

My question is, do you think it is worth sinking that kind of dough into an amp that old?

Thanks in advance to all for your wise opinions.

Saved yourself a ton of money as well. A new 200W Class A amp today is several thousands of dollars. Jon has done many amps for me and the work is all I could ask for. It is now ready for another 30 years of enjoyment. Don't judge it to early, I have found it takes about 200 hours for all the new parts to break in so to speak. If you like it now, your in for a big treat in a few weeks. I myself let Class A amps on 24/7. Cycyling them on and off and putting the amp in thermal cycles, tend to shorten the life of a Class A amp.

Enjoy it one of the true legendary Class A amps, from the gifted mind of Nelson Pass.

Thanks, am in process of contacting. The FET 2 was a Threshold preamp from the early 80's
