I think the OP's question could easily be answered if he added just a little bit more info.
Jabbasan, how much extra $$$$ would you be willing to pay to see this through?
$100?
$500?
$1,000?
$2,000?
$5,000?
More????
The question becomes a moot point if it obviously 'ain't gonna happen' for the amount of $$$ you feel you'd pay to do all this, so,,, what's it worth TO YOU?
IMHO, if ABS was available as an added-cost option, I'd go without ABS.
I've had both linked and un-linked before as well and either one is fine with me.
