Service Contracts/Foundation Care on access layer switches?

We’re putting together a network refresh of around 100 access layer switches - all Aruba - a mix of 6400 chassis and 6300m’s. We planned on getting 5 years of 9x5, nbd replacement foundation care for each switch/chassis, but the cost for that is eating up about 1/3 of our budget. My question is - do you guys think it’s worth it? Should we just grab a few spare line cards and switches and drop the foundation care? Have you found a value for it? If we roll out Clearpass and need to call TAC regarding an issue involving Clearpass configuration on the switch, will they thumb their noses at us?
