The +4 was made for soft feeling shifts not trans longevity
Not so, +4 has superior lubricating properties, especially when compared to Type F. Transmissions with OD planetaries that run the majority of the time need the best lube available unlike the 3-speeds where the planetaries are only used in the lower two gears.
When comparing prices you have to realize that a lot of shops base their estimates on the worst case scenario. Only way to beat that is to ask for labor "plus parts" estimate and many shops are reluctant to do that.
