If you want my opinion, yes. If performance isn't THAT much of a big deal to you, and you're getting the Si for purely aesthetic reasons, get the EX and save your mind some anguish.

It eats me alive wondering whether the issues I've had with my transmission have heavily damaged my car.

Above that, providing a fix ever comes out, what fool is going to be ripping apart my relatively new 20,000 mile transmission and replacing intricate things. I've heard horror stories about this.
