Covertible hydraulics - costs

Hi All - took my Saab 2002 9-3 convertible in to get the 5th bow switch replaced after finally finding the part (2.5 hrs + part). Top had been acting up for a while with the "soft top failure" read on the SID - it would often pause up in mid-air when going up for a few seconds before continuing the motion.
Just before taking it in, though, my top totally failed. Motor whirred with no top movement. My mechanic said one driver's side ram needed to be replaced (approx $500, labor and rebuilt parts) and a leaky hydraulic line needs replaced as well ($600 labor and parts).
I'm now looking at a $1,400+ total for essentially a bad relay and a hydraulic leak. Curious how these costs stack up to others' experiences. I know these can be common problems. Thanks all
