How hard is it to fit a new clutch to a 145 cloverleaf?

My local alfa dealer reckons that its going to cost £700 based upon £473 (5.5hrs) labour and £220 for the clucth kit!! yikes

Funny thing is just prior to him quoting me this price I asked the parts bod how much for the clutch kit including all components/ springs etc and was quoted £104, so do Alfa just bump up the prices on the parts if they fit it. When I informed them that their parts man had only 5 minutes ago quoted half what they had for the same part he replied, 'oh well its was probably for a reconditioned one' yet at no point did the parts man say this. Do they all take the piss like this then?
