Didn't even notice you were talking 2G til you said the ECU price. DSMLink on a 2G gives you the better increments on the launch limiter than the MSD.

The MSD functions fine as a launch limiter, but it all comes down to whether you want to spend $300 for something that is pretty much just a limiter, or spend around, and get lots of other things taken care of at the same time.
I ran a 12.4 with all stock ignition stuff(except bpr-7es plugs), and I know plenty of other people going faster on all stock stuff, so you don't NEED it for that. I'd take the chip features every time over a slightly higher output spark.
Good to hear that yours is lasting that long. I know quite a few people who have had an MSD on for a short period of time, and it didnt last. Neither did the replacement. Is yours the standard version, or the HO version?

I got mine pretty cheap. I think the important thing with MSD is your grounding. You have to have a good ground. WIth high output spark grounding is very important. I have the regular DIS 2. You have to make sure you have all good soldered conncetions,
