I had the reaming done locally, and paid I think $80 per side? Anyway it 
was the same price as if I had sent it to Apple, except no shipping!
Look in your Apple catalog, they do them. Also, make sure that the place 
where you take them has the original align-reamer ($200) and is not 
trying to make do with a regilar reamer. It won't last long otherwise...
