Ignition Key Cylinder Broken

Today, as I tried to start the car, the key cylinder broke (snapped) and popped out of the housing. The key, the little cylinder with the metal teeth and springs popped up and I was able to pull it out. The housing around this cylinder is stuck in the console.
I was quoted $750 from a locksmith and $370 from a notable Saab technician.
The locksmith can eat mud. But does the quote from the technician sound right. It looks as though if I can remove the housing from the console, then replace the key cylinder, I should be good to go. But, i may be simplifying the whole process.
Any thoughts...?? I'd say the car is worth between $1000-$1200. Should I junk it (engine/transmission are fine)?
Thanks,
BJ
