Seeking outboard motor advice

Ugg. My 2006 Mercury Optimax has lost compression in one of it's 3 cylinders. The motor has low hours and ran great for 3 summers before this failure. It's 115, 1.5 liter. I'm getting estimates around $5,000 to $6,000 to put a "reconditioned" power head from Mercury on it. (comes with a 1 year warranty) My question is "is it worth it?". This is a big punch in the nose. I appreciate any thoughts.
