I would not replace the system. Nobody can guarantee that a 7 year old system will not have additional service needs in the near future, but we will all agree that a 7 year old system should have 5-8 years of life left in it. A coil is a major repair, and hopefully, those dont come along that often. Odds are that other future service items would be much lower cost than that.
