Actually you should change it now. 80k miles is the recommended mileage to do the work. I wouldn't go more than 100k. Price is about right too. Anytime you do a timing belt service, water pump, belt tensioner should be replace as well.
Honda dealer will tell you to replace front crankshaft seal and maybe even camshaft seals too depends on the dealer. You don't have to do those. I never in my life seen crank/cam seals go bad. Even motor with 300k mi.
Do it right the first time and you don't have to worry about it for another 80-100k.
Parts are 3-4 hundred dollars, labor is the money maker here. About 5-6 hr in labor.
It's not hard if you are mechanically incline. You just need a special crank pulley tool. I've done more than a dozen timing belt services on different model Hondas/Acuras over the years.
I would take a look at your accessory belt(s) too. If they look dry cracked, replace them as well.
This is one of those service you don't want to cheap out on. If the Water pump and/or belt tensioner fail, you have to pull eveything apart again and redo everything.
I bought an Integra in 2005 with a broken TB @111k miles. Lucky for me, no valves were bent,so all I did was replace the belt, water pump and tensioner. We still have the car now @ almost 200k miles.
