Fixed!
So here's the final tally:
First basement guy's estimate: $2700 for the super-deluxe sump pump with alarm
Second basement guy's estimate: $750 for a regular sump pump and alarm
Our personal plumber's estimate: $480 for a sump pump and alarm
At that point, I asked our plumber to recommend a sump pump. He said go with Zoeller. I ordered one on Amazon.com for $131 plus $15 for an alarm and installed the thing myself yesterday.
Total cost, including about $4.00 for some replacement PVC piping: about $150.
I'm happy.
