Going by the original post it becomes a fairly straightforward financial analysis.
$35k premium for 2 engines
$17.5k per engine
2750 hours less
This means you are paying $6.36/hour of useage.
To see if this is reasonable, we need to estimate the life expectancy of an engine and multiply it by the above usage rate. Take a look at the table below and see if the replacement cost seems reasonable for one engine. If the replacement cost seems OK, then the $6.36/hour premium is reasonable.
