606 cylinder head w/ broken glow plugs

So my new-to-me '98 E300 that had GP light on doesn't just have bad glow plugs - it has three broken ones. Two options I'm looking at are:

1. Take to MB dealer, write big check. But how big is big? Anyone here paid the dealer to extract broken plugs, and if so, what did it cost?

2. Buy a used cylinder head, and swap. Does anyone know if the cyl head is the same between 606.910 and 606.912 and 606.962? I've replaced 606 cyl head before on another e300 and it wasn't too bad of a job.

I'm trying to compare the cost of the two options. If the difference in price between them is >$1k I'd prefer the DIY route. If its less than $1k I'll gladly write the check.

Thanks for any insight.
