It's nice to be able to fix it myself, but it's also nice to pick up the phone and say "come get this". Yeah we talked about tier 4 and regen cycles. I like what I read concerning LS.
I do not have experience with LS and will not speak on them.
I do however make my living being responsible for maintenance. About 750 tier 4+ diesel engines fall under my control.
For my reasoning lets take for instance the Cummins engine just got thru rebuilding that oil soaked the emissions system. The Engine rebuild Kit cost $4,085.91. The DOC that was plugged and not reusable after being soaked with oil cost $3,902.10. The DPF that was in the same condition cost $2471.63.
With that being said as long as you have a good warranty and everything that fails is covered by warranty you should be good. It is when you get into that no warranty zone that things can get ruff.
