What are the plans for the car?
If racing/tracking at all, (and you plan on keeping the car for a while) then yes I would. Rather than continue to possibly break the 5 speed over and over.

If just street driving, then depends how deep your pockets are.

The cost of the 6 speed swap (box, matching diff, clutch, labour etc) is essentially half the cost of a whole GC8. Not worth it for just a street car IMO. Hence why I haven't bothered...

You are unlikely to break the 6 speed if that's what you are asking? People run 500hp+ without any dramas.
