Should I buy the dealer injection service on my '03 as part of injector replacement?

I dropped my '03 at the dealer on Monday with the usual long/no start problem that has been frequently discussed here. I asked for a diagnosis (I told them not to perform the lift pump relocation if that was the cause). Truck is still under warantee. I just got the call from the dealer - definitely 3 injectors are bad and will be replaced under warantee (there is a $100.00 deductible). The tech is testing the last 3 right now and these will be replaced as well if found to be bad. The service manager asked if I would like to pay out of pocket for their $183.00 injector service package while the truck is there. He recommended this so that if there is anything in the rail/lines/cylinders it will be cleaned out before going with the new injectors. I did check the TSB 14-003-06 for my problem and did not find the cleaning as part of the correction (only replace the leaking injectors and then perform the powertrain verification test). I told him I would call him back tommorrow AM with my decision. Any advice?

Thanks,
Anthony
