I gave Len a call. He was very informative and told me to run what I got until it dies. He even said it might last a while if it was assembled decently. If/when it dies I definitely will go with Len on the new transmission.
Thanks much for following up on this. You won't be sorry. He's a straight-shooter and knows what he is doing. His 30+-years as a racer gives him an edge, I think.
