I would have rather kept the 175 across compression. You should get yours checked and see if it is even walking. I wouldn't waste the money on the bs elim or aprs if you don't plan on keeping the motor for a long time. I didn't think the new bearing helped prevent crankwalk. I though it more or less just prolonged the life of the motor before it was walked.

So...eliminating weak links is a waste of money? If he is using the motor, for say a month, yes it would be a waste. If he runs over 18psi of boost, he'll want head studs, especially with a 2g motor.

The bearing replacement is nice because his motor DIED. Whenever a motor dies, you don't reuse the bearings.
