Replace 2k MAF at 100k? Maintainence item?

I'm debating whether I should replace the MAF on my 2k. It idles and revs smoothly, but doesn't seem to have the power that it once had. I'm coming up on 100k miles and wondering if I should consider it a maintainence item and just replace it???

I'm replacing all 6 coils next week. I already plan on replacing the fuel filter, O2 sensors, drivebelt, and possibly the OEM struts. Anything else I should consider replacing??

buy a new car... just kidding.. if you are loosing power it might be your VIAS not your MAF..... mine it is the same.. I tried to take off the screws that hold the VIAS in place but one stripped and I stoped. maybe one of these days I'll take it apart......

I fixed the vias a few months ago, that helped a lot >5000rpm. But it still feels kinda sluggish at all engine speeds. I would like to have a new/newer car, but I put a lot of miles on my car-35k/year and don't think it's worth it. In addition, I have a lot of other financial restraints right now like buying a wedding ring and a house.
