I find them for half the price at AB.

Bet Zack at Rovers North can beat that price. $1000 labor sounds a bit steep but it will need to be evacuated and charged once installed.

I would recommend against supplying your own aftermarket parts. Most aftermarket parts are junk and the shop will not cover their labor if your supply the part should the new part fail. I would consider investigating the direct pressure sensing valve on the pressure. The labor is the same but the part is probably cheaper.
What is the direct pressure sensing valve?
It’s a valve on the compressor that is replaceable separately. There is a technical bulletin about it. If your shop is a Land Rover specialist, they should know about it.

The AC compressor failed on my LR3 (throwing the drive belt and causing the engine to overheat), and I paid under half of what you are being quoted to get the whole unit replaced including labor, but that was in 2014, and so is out of date.
From my vague memory of the engine bay arrangement, I don’t see how there could be 8 hours of labor ($125hr x 8= $1000) for the swap, but someone more knowledgeable can comment.
