They are replacing the inner because they can't get the outer off.

Default Canadian dollars?
Sounds high for US $. I'd expect another $50 for the inner (guessing), and no more than an addt'l half hour of labor. So $100 more than they quoted you for the outer TRE only...which should have been $250-300 US.

Default Where can one get the inners?
I'm in the same boat, but I haven't seen anyone list the inners anywhere nor can I find any talk about in the service manual.

No worse than others that I have seen. But more than I would ever pay.
