Rob I suggest broaden your search and get a second quote from a Saab specialist.
I have done several heads, with two of us and no power tools, 9000 took four to five hours to remove and replace. With experience and power tools way faster. Add cost of rebuilding head, and some other stuff to check, like top mounts, top chain guide, alternator regulator, then make a decision.
Skilled non Saab specialist, had only ever done one or two 9k's many years before, mobile mechanic, visits my house, removed transmission, changed clutch and slave, and installed trans back in and ready to drive in 2 and a half hours with me bothering him. On a lift Abbott Racing in UK can do it way quicker. So suggest get at least one other quote, no special skills needed for the head on a 9000 for a competent professional.
