Aye, that's the plan. If I run in to the dealer instead of having it shipped, I'll likely be able to get the part before February. Also wanted to run by the shop and let them take a listen while I was there. Really loathe the idea of it being something else, but not too confident on my trouble-shooting ability within the engine if it isn't the chain tensioner.

Interesting... my '08 manual instructs checks at 7500mi intervals after the break-in. 7500mi has been suggested as excessively often, but if the manual says it needs it, there's probably a reason. I'd strongly suggest learning how to do it yourself though to save some big $$ checking it every 3k.
Might also take a look over here, lots of other opinions on the valve checks:
