EFI Price Worth It??

I have a 04.5 lly and am considering having a guy I know set up EFI live on my truck; the price he quoted me is $450.00 that includes an egr block plate and a five position switch so I'm told, I'm new to diesels and just wondering if it's worth the price. My main reason is to get a little bit better fuel economy. Any suggestions would be helpful to this newbie.
Thanks

About 4 or 5 years, he is supposedly the D-Max guru for these parts.

Well he goes by the Mad Mexican, and my co-worker is very good friends with him so he hooked me up with him cause my co-worker has a cummins and in his eyes d-max's are shiat.
So this he's been very helpful to me since I've only had a diesel for about a month
