I spent 6 years in the field as a tech and another 5 years selling the stuff, here's my .02.
Just use theirs. I know it's a little more, but it's a gamble. Those modems have always been susceptible to being struck by lightning. If it gets fried and you own it, you're at least 1 day or so out regarding response time to get a tech out to confirm your modem is fried. Then you're a couple more days out to order a new one and shipping. Then the other issues mentioned on top of that. Other random issues come up as well, and if they suspect it's your modem you're stuck either way.
Whatever you do just don't use the wifi that's built in to the modem. The range sucks. Get you a mesh system, ie Eero, Nest, etc
Imo, juice isn't worth the squeeze. Just use theirs, so whatever hardware issue occurs is their problem not yours.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
