2006 is250 after lexus engine r&r

what is your guys' opinion on how good/reliable a 2006 is 250 is and will be if a lexus dealership performed the carbon buildup r&r 15k miles ago?
is this more like a new engine or worse than for example a non-carbon issue engine at 120k miles that has never been touched?
is this engine now more **** to leaks and other issues because it's been disassembled?

The engine will be better that it would be without the rebuild.

i understand that but for example would someone be better off buying same year is 350 with 120k miles with no such service or this is 250 with 120k with rebuild done at 99k?

If you can afford the trade in lost, and don’t care the fuel economy, get the 350. But if you don’t care the hp and don’t want to spend that much, your 250 will be just fine. You literally have a new engine, put in a catch can and use only premium gas you should be reaching 200k easily.
