Sure, a HSK might fix the problem today, but what about next month when the

assessment and maybe install of the correct HSK would be well worth it.

Maybe it's well worth it to you, I'd go with the $15 hard start
kit, provided it had symptoms of a hard start problem. I did that
with my previous central AC and got another 15 years out of it,
no problems at all. And no reason to believe paying someone $150 to
put one in is going to be any better. It also depends on the age
of the fridge, if it's old, I wouldn't spend $150 to find out
what's wrong with it.
