Well, even if you "only" get another 9000 km out of the new chain you will be doing well. My last KMC chain didn't have anywhere near that sort of mileage. I changed it because one of the links was coming apart and causing chain skipping and slipping at probably half the mileage you have. Yes, the Wipperman chain is 75% more expensive than the fairly high end KMC chain I had been using, but I don't do really high mileage on this bike since I bought a gravel bike this year so I expect that my Wipperman chain will last several years
