I did the ROM upgrade on one of my "underused" Pluses a year ago.  The 
whole process was free.  My understanding is that the dealer is supposed
to bill Apple back for the labor costs.  This upgrade should cost you 
nothing.

Of course, you should get that in writing before you give your dealer
the go-ahead.
