Is $1,900 way too much for insert install?

Local place, which has a good reputation, is quoting me $1,900 to install an insert (VC Casting Montpelier) using a ~22' insulated stainless liner with no block off plate. I'm in NJ so everything is a ripoff but this seems like an awful lot. Thoughts?
 
Sounds about average for a peak-season install, especially if they are putting in a heavy-duty liner.
 
I m in Somerset county paid $1600, they wrapped and insulated a 25' vortex liner I bought.

What gauge liner, what length?
 
Is this Premier Fireflex? I'd prefer their heavy (.016) wall liner for that price.
 
we also need to know what the roof is like what is involved with getting the liner through the damper ect.
