I agree with your local shop. Worry about the chain after another 100K miles. The guides are going to wear much faster than the chain. And as long as the chain groove is not down to the metal part of the guides and rails, you´re OK. On most MBZ motors, up to 4 degrees of chain stretch is acceptable before chain replacement or woodruff-key installation on the cam sprocket.
