Judging from what the community has to say, eff it! Just let the warranty lapse.
I mean, I'm anal about up-to-date maintenance and don't drive my cars hard. So, it's probably safe to say that I'll likely be okay in the long term without the extended warranty.
Best to just keep that $2100 or whatever aside and IF anything happens, pour it into repairs.
I think I got my answer. Big thanks to all who replied with insightful experience.
