Not entirely true. I've done this job many times on the above mentioned models and I can tell you that the 124 isn't any easier than the 220. They're both A LOT of work, but the fully networked 220 has far less wiring to deal with than you'd expect. The non-networked 140 on the other hand is by far the most challenging, IMHO, especially for a tech who hasn't done many of them.
As far as labor is concerned, in my part of the world you'll pay about 80% of what the dealer will charge you.
