if you can use that tooth for chewing, it appears you can, then save it!
when you get that tooth pulled the teeth in front and behind it are going to move and tip into the space and really mess up your bite there.
i know it's hella expensive to go the root canal/crown root, but you should really consider it.
$3000-$3500 is a wicked high estimate. The root canal should run you a grand and the crown the same. (and these are max estimates)
call other dental offices and ask what a root canal/crown on an upper molar would cost.
