I agree. Finding a competent machine shop is extremely hard.
And is part of why I want to do the work myself if possible.
I may be wrong but even the guys on the page you gave a link to seem to have the same head listed twice for two different prices.
One is listed as 300D 617 for $920.00
And a second listed as 300SD 617 for 1,090.00
