When a head gasket fails it can fail in several differant ways. Not always resulting in water in oil milkyness. They often fail between the water jacket holes and the outside resulting in no effect in performance just a subtle coolant leak.
$1250 not that bad, considering the head gasket will cost around $700-$900 & the rear welsh plug requires the tranny to be removed.

I there were no repercussions from running it with the gasket like that I wouldn't change it either.
