Take your time man. It isn't the end all beat all tone miracle. If you like your amp already it just helps dynamics, sustain and feel a bit. The voicing of the amp stays the same. Put a little money away here and there and maybe some day it will be enough for the circuit mod and OT change.

Remember you won't make your money back from the mod if you sell your amp. It really doesn't increase the value. So you need to consider that too.

I'm keeping the DSL50 so having it modded was worth it to me. I wanted it sounding its best as my blues and rock amp. Jerry did good for me.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
