Yeah if you do through PAD you will pay through the nose.

Actually, PAD rates are reasonable, and they sell parts slightly cheaper than SSL. If you buy a console from PAD, and have PAD's Tech Shop service it as a package deal, it costs less that buying the services ala carte. And PAD warrantees the consoles or up to a year.
But if you need to do group routing switches and/or EQ/Dynamics swithches, it's gonna cost you, no matter who does it. At least PAD includes that in their standard refurbishing when you buy a desk from them. After all, PAD has sold something like 150 used SSLs in the past decade.
