Has anyone had Springfield Armory custom shop work on your barrel?

I'm sending my XD45 slide to SA to have them install a set of Heinie Pro Slant Straight 8 sights for $105 and that includes the sights.

On the form to accompany any custom work, I also see that SA will:

Install Springfield Custom match barrel ($190)
or
Refit existing factory barrel for match grade accuracy ($105)

Has anyone done either of the above?
I wonder if the match barrel is worth the $85 more than the refitted barrel?

Thanks

Someone actually paying for Heinie sights!

Actually, i have a pt145 that came with them and I love them.

Xd custom work...

Attached is a picture of my wife's custom XD9. Springfield Armory customized the polymer frame, chromed the slide and external metal parts, changed the front sight to a fiber optic version, completed a trigger job, and in doing all this, created a superb handgun from an excellent handgun. I am not aware of any barrel work(the guy who sold it to me did not mention it or may not have known if it was done). My wife shoots 1" to 1.5" groups offhand at 10 yards with WWB 115gr. You will be pleased with their custom work!
