Valve Body Question

I am in the final stages of completing a transmission rebuild on a 2000 Boxster Tiptronic due to an intermix issue with the ATF. This has included all steel and fiber clutches, all seals, gaskets, etc. and a rebuild of the torque converter. I am down to a question on the valve body. It has been suggested that I should also replace the valve body and I am unsure if I should do this at this point. Before the issues I encountered with the slipping clutches, there had not been any codes for anything related to the valve body (i.e. solenoids, etc.). Obviously the intermix had gotten into the valve body as well, but at least by appearance, everything looks fine with the valve body. I am looking for some opinions here on what the best course of action would be. I don't want to invest another big chunk of money on a new or rebuilt valve body without knowing that the current one is a problem, and without knowing that the work that I've done on the rest of the transmission has been successful. Is there anything I should be concerned with regarding potentially damaging the transmission (or any other problems) by using the current valve body?

Thanks for your help!
