The key point to remember here is that if you remove the ignition cylinder that is going bad before it fails it takes 5 minutes and you can still start and drive the the car with the key or a screwdriver... if the cylinder fails you are looking at a full days work to be able to even turn the steering wheel for a propper tow, and the likley hood of having to replace the additional $150.00 worth of parts you will have to cut out.
