porsche 911 dash....

['74super]

i know they are made by kerscher and i know they run upwards of $200.....but what i need to know is that if by installing a 911 style dash you are giving up structural integrity of the dash itself. will the 911 style be as stable/sturdy as the original? also do you think it is worth the $200? i know they look awesome but there is always that dash cover route.?.?. i have a 74 super so a "new dash" is not something you can get at the local vw shop....
