Two-Mass Flywheel failure - anyone else suffered this?

Has anyone suffered a dual mass (two mass) flywheel failure? With the gearbox currently out of my 1990 190E-2.3 Sportline 5-speed to replace the clutch, I discovered that the two halves of my dual mass flywheel have separated due to the failure of the eight pins that should hold it all together. The annoying aspect of this is not just the fact that it has failed, but that the list price for a new flywheel from the dealer is $2516.23 AU ($1.00 AU is approximately $0.75 US).

Has anyone else had a similar failure in a car with one of these flywheels? For more details and pictures see my thread about the clutch problems at New issue with 5-speed manual in W201 - difficult shifting (flywheel photos in post #11).
