Since it monitors the engine more closely, it will likely prolong the life of the engine and reduce fuel consumption.

Depends on the engine and your use: How long will it take to amortize the cost of the FADEC, given likely reduction in fuel and future overhaul costs? If you have to replace/overhaul the engine anyhow, what is the extra cost to go FADEC?
