Have you isolated it to the coil? You don't specifically say if you eliminated the spark plug as the cause.
It's a cost/benefit thing.

Losing a day or two of use waiting for a new coil to arrive (when the 2nd, 3rd, etc fail) is more inconvenient than spending the money to buy/install 6 new coils.

And they never fail at a convenient time.

There are plenty of threads here where folks changed one coil only to have another fail a couple of months down the road.
