Also, my ride is a 2010 with 19K miles...do you think I'm due for this??
Thx in advance.

Quarterly is probably marginally better than biannually, but I'm not an expert by any means. With the right tools, bleeding the brakes in the proper manner is very easy as well. No, I would never consider that a permanent solution. The dirty brake fluid that is not siphoned out just becomes dirtier and dirtier over time making your efforts less and less effective over time.
I believe Nissan recommends 2 years or 30K miles, whichever comes first, for brake fluid change interval. If it's never been done before, it sounds like you're due.
