Angry Rocker arms and cam replacement

Hey guys! Great forum!

My Duke ll is at the dealer for a cam replacement. The mechanic says that the inlet rocker arm is damaged as well, but the outlet rocker arm looks still OK. He recommends replacing both rocker arms and not just the faulty one?

It is an expensive repair. What do I do? Replace just the faulty one and save some money or do both?

If you are not mechanically inclined, you are sort of in a bind.

It's less money to have both done than tear the bike down twice.
