Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing?

My Pioneer SX-1050 will cost about $350 to repair; one of the channels is shot. Is it worth it? Will it cover my Audio Physic Virgos? Its rated at 120 watts/channel. The Pioneer SX series have superb FM sensitivity; my old SX 750 can pick up college stations from my Boston suburban home; 3 high end tuners couldnt.

If it were me, I guess it come down to these questions I would ask myself. 1)if I take the 350 and add it to other money, how much can I afford? 2)If I invest 350.00 now and the other channel fails is it worth another 350.00? 3)is this a good time to just upgrade and what can I buy that would power my Virgos and sound better on my budget? 4)How old is this unit, and will fixing one channel make it sound unbalanced?
Just my opinion, what does your pocket book say?

How attached to the unit are YOU? Does it have sentimental value to YOU? Do YOU really like the sounds it produces? Notice the emphasis on YOU? In the end,YOU have to make that call.It's your money and ears ,not ours.
