I guess that shop is on the expensive side then.
I've seen a few Springer Loaded's on GB for 700.00 to 750.00 used over the past 6 months or so, very nearly bought one. Once and awhile I'd see a new one at about 800.00 - 850.00
The PM-9, for the money, is the way to go. If I didn't intend to buy DW GBOB this year, I'd buy another PM-9.
