It's not about making anything a big deal, it is about what you get for your money, you may get lucky and get a good $300 cylinder overhaul but there is a reason that a $300 job costs $300 and that is the depth and care to which the inspection is done.
Early in my time in this busness I used cheap overhauled cylinders and the these cylinders usualy failed within 3-400 hours one at 50 hours. The overhaul shop that I use for cylinders are charging about $500 for a cylinder overhaul and you can expect one of these cylinders to last as well as a new cylinder.
The message is that you only get what you pay for.
