Derek, That is a difficult question to answer, but personally I would make the modification. This mod was available direct from QSC (someone will correct me if I'm wrong) and will help with the future proofing of the car, since the Zetec being newer, should be more available for longer.
As for the treatment, maybe consider a cold galvanisation process before power coating?
