every two years or so, is a wise investment?

Ron.
It wouldn't hurt, but it would probably be unnecessary. It's a rare occurence when the cooling system is maintained and not rusty. I can recall seeing three in about the past fifteen years and one was clean, the other two were nasty.

Also I have yet to see a radiator blow a plastic tank on the cold side of the radiator.
