The comparison of peeling the ppf off to reveal perfect paint doesn't jive here because I'm comparing PPF vs a redo of the road damage from what PPF would otherwise protect the car from. Both coming out equal.
Depends what your level of meh-ness is during those 25-35k miles. Personally, I don't want to look at a stone chipped front end for half my ownership. Keep in mind that you may only have to replace say the front bumper PPF, not necessarily everything if it were to get stone blasted. Also, are you keeping the car long term? If so, and don't care about painting it every however many years, don't get ppf.
