In the sense of money yes, but not enjoyement...

you have a perfect reason to swap, since you already have the m52 anyway.... all the parts to do a m50/m52/s50/s52 swap are easily available, it's not like you have to source custom engine mounts or anything like that. start sourcing parts, makes no sense to spend money on m42.
