gearbox - whats my best option?

[maz172cup]

needing a gearbox as its very cruchy, I called up few places.
1st specialist quoted me £280 plus £280 for taking it out and back in , sounded abit dear to me.
Called up another local place they charge £140 for taking out & in. its a normal garage but really good. They say they have someone who will come and refurb or rebuild it but they cant say wat price unless they see it.
Wats the best option to go for

£140 for an in and out ! rip their hand off ! clutch change is quoted at 7.5 hrs in the book.... work it out for yourself ? thats less than £20 an hr !!!
