Very good call. I busted mine about 10 casts in on a trip to Madison River in October. I had geared the entire trip thinking about streamers, so that was a tough first day (but it did increase beer throughput).Maybe buy a cheap new or used 6 wt back-up rod so you can get out on the water. Always nice to have another rod anyway in case you break one while out on the water. It can save a day or trip. My last Sage repair was 10 weeks.
