Worth replacing HD?

laurierobeyOkay diagnostic tests show the HD has failed on my Dell XPS 420. It's about 3 years old. I can replace the HD, and have to figure out how to get the new one all set up. I have backups of data, fortunately.
Is it worth replacing the HD? I don't want to do this and then have some other component fail 2 months down the road.

The .2 rating delta will never be detectable by a person.
