I have thought about it but I drive my cars daily and put on over 100K miles. I suspect I will need the replace the shocks at some point. The price on 2006 MSRC shocks is about $600. The price I found on a 2012 was over $1000 per shock.
If you drive the car that much I'd think you'd definitely want the MSRC as it's the best riding combination available. The Z51 w/o MSRC will be fairly sporty. You rarely hear about MSRC shock failures even with 2003-2004 C5s when it was first introduced.
Out of your combination the only thing I'd add would be yellow calipers. It'd be stunning w/ the blue and Kalahari.

Does anyone know if they can be bought for less?
If the bulk of your driving is over good roads the MSRC may not be worth it for you. Unless you see yourself keeping the car for 10 years I would not worry about replacement cost for shocks.
