Sounds like a fair price. Good transformer. You'll need an adapter cable to connect to the TIU. (50-1001) Are you any good at wiring?
It is my opinion that it is best to leave the factory connector on the PH180 and use a cable with a mating connector to get to wires suitable for the TIU connection.
Yeah.. I thought it was a "little" high, but I know they can be hard to find.. and most dealers are out of stock on them. I had no idea there was such a demand. Anyway.. I didn't mind, since I think 180 Watts should take care of most things for a while. I plan to use my Z500 for the lit accessories and switches.
I'm good with wiring. I plan on just cutting the end off and putting banana clips on that I already have.
