If the trans does need the extra work done to replace the piston seals etc, find someone who can do that for you. The tools used to be about $150, but they have gone up from what I've read. The piston compressor is over $100 now, and the seal tools I read were near $100(which is too much). I'd suggest finding a person or shop that will "bench build a transmission." The trans R&R is the hard part, and the basic rebuild needs a lot of care and cleanliness.
Concentrate on the things you can do which rebuilds do not include, the VB kit and upgrades, get the VB solenoids etc.
