Re-plating Buffet R-13

Hey everyone! I work at a local music store, and I chatted for a bit with our phenomenal woodwind repair tech and he mentioned that he could get my clarinet re-plated through Anderson. He would then have to re-pad the entire clarinet, using cork pads on the upper joint.. for just a little over $200. When originally purchased, it had nickel plating. I tried a few silver plated horns, and I like the tone a bit better.

Three questions:

1) Is this a pretty good deal?

2) Is it any risk re-plating the instrument?

3) Is there anything I should ask or know before I do this?

I appreciate the help!
