I had the kit put in my bike. Total from dealer was $850 with labor but that was with a 15% across the board discount. Did it for peace of mind really as I kept hearing the horror stories and started having nightmares. i don't know about oil pressure but the motor seems quieter (for what it's worth)
I'm keeping this bike a while and if I do sell it down the road I think having the kit installed would be a nice selling feature (that and the fact that it's so freakin' cool). So it's just a personal choice.

Woods and Andrews also both make a hydraulic conversion kit. Not sure what the price differences are or anything, but they would be worth checking into. Both extremely reputable companies when it comes to cams. I repalced my tensioners very recently, so I'll be going to either this or gear drive the next 20,000 miles when I have to change them out again.
I believe if you go with the Andrews kit you have to use an Andrews cam. Might want to consider this if you go that route.

TheShrink makes a good point about the oil pump as well, certainly have that added benefit. My philosophy at the end was "if i'm gonna have the thing open for a new cam, might as well "fix" the tensioners"

I did the same thing. I wanted to put 211 cams in and my bike just got to 20,000 miles. After they got in there they found the tensioners were bad, so I got some of the work done cheaper since the warranty covered the labor costs for opening it up. I paid for the better tensioners of course.
