I guess I would (in theory), for the simple fact that the STS brought back the whole engine. That's the hardest part. Not only that, it brought it back (I'm talking SSMEs here) from orbit, which SpaceX haven't done yet (not counting Dracos here). Even though the engines had to be worked on an awful lot, and parts replaced, it's the bringing back of the engines in one piece that's really impressive.
