If you get a good bit more life out of the stock clutch, you can better brace for that labor cost to pull the transmission once again. FWIW, most of the clutch kits I am looking at come with the heavy duty CSC included.

Like I said, it's already at the shop getting work done, so I can't really do anything at this point. I would have bought a new oem clutch and brought it in. Had the quote to replace the clutch been more reasonable, I would have done it. That's why I asked for the quote in the first place thinking I could save some cash with the transmission out. I think a local tuner shop can replace the clutch for around $1200-$1,400 including a new clutch & labor...still cheaper than what the dealer quoted. I'll just have to bite the $500-600 labor cost.
I didn't want to throw in aftermarket parts just yet since my extended warranty is still in place....especially when it's a drivetrain component. God forbid they somehow blame an aftermarket clutch for ruining a new transmission, although unlikely. My main concern was the transmission, which cost a heck of lot more than the clutch. As long as that's taken cared of, I'm really okay with having to replace the clutch down the line.
