It's true that FI problems can be hard to diagnose. Most of the 
problems are just caused by careless, ham-fisted mechanics who 
don't care. OTOH, if it is well maintained it can't be beat for 
reliability and long term low cost. Most people, however, don't have 
the stomach for getting to the bottom of the problem. With the 
resources on this list, troubleshooting FI problems should be much 
easier.

My advice would be to keep it because you may eventually want to 
switch back, but I'll pay the shipping on anything FI that you prefer 
to get rid of. ;-)
