I have paid under $300 for both of my 30lb tanks. Your pricing is way off. You just need to buy in the off season and know where to look.
AND, if you do the math per POUND (16oz) of R12, it is nearly a wash seeing as you need just less than 3lbs for your vehicle, or four cans. I saw 12oz cans of 134A at the local auto store for about $9 last time I was there.
I would not go thru the hassle of a 134A conversion that will cool less to save maybe $50 on refrigerant. If you are on that tight of a budget, skip something else once a month to make up the difference... it IS worth it to retain R12.
I tried a replacement in one of my cars as it was leaking and was not too impressed with its low speed cooling ability.
