They do fail and Porsche had a lawsuit against them and lost. I went through Rennlist and Planet 9 forums to do lots of checks. For peace of mind the retrofit bearing does not seem to cost too much either.

Oh that's good. As long as you were aware of the issues and know to avoid them.  I didn't think they had fixed it by 07 but I did not look very heavily into the 997 so my information is spotty.
I actually like the droopy eyes of the 996 turbo and because of the dislike for them, they are a fantastic deal.
