But, the toilets occasionally need to be repaired with a new gasket, or a new fill valve. Now, I know that I can turn off the water to the toilets and have more confidence that I will not encounter a leaking valve that would require the water to be shut down for the entire house. To me, the peace of mind was worth the cost.

We did the same, even though we had lots of other expenses when moving in to our resale house in TV.
We also changed everything out behind the refrigerator.
A slow leak back there is almost impossible to witness before affecting the drywall which can morph into mold/ mildew issues pretty quickly.
We had Mike Scott Plumbing do the work too. Ended up a very easy bill to pay for peace of mind.
