Hopefully the later available case is a better design.
I assume the crack is because of the kick-start action.
So if it has only recently broken then they last about 13 years. A lot of cases in the past have had cracks around starter levers due to lack of support.
Your thinking is good, in that you may as well do a rebuild whilst it is apart. Just check over the trans for wear whilst in there, don't want to split cases twice.
