Yeah it makes sense if you want all the new parts. I just don't want to spend $400 CAD for a lock and tumbler (with shipping and fees, etc). All it does is turn the car on. I can get a 3 way key lock switch for $10 and a $10 start button from Digi key that does the same thing. The only issue is that darn vacuum switch. I could rig up a choke cable to pull the engine stop lever under the hood. I think it would attach easily to the bracket where the cruise control cable attaches. Or I can get some kind of a ramp switch that pushes in on the vacuum switch from the steering lock. My steering lock and switches are all fine. Car only has 80K miles on it. Sure the lock could break sometime soon, but now it comes out easily enough. I can't really just go replacing everything on this car. It would put us out on the street! haha
