The DMF on our cars is pretty reliable anyway.

A lot of the early PD vags had either depending on age and model, my wifes gttdi had a SMF but my mates earlier gttdi had duel both the same model and no diffrence in drive although my wifes car did rev up quicker,
but as you say the cdti cast crank is a very weak point to these engines, i cannot see any reason to worry about it on the k series and kv6 model car as the 45's and zs's all had SMF, but then they seam more of a drivers car so a more snappy engine is part of it i guess.
