I don't understand how the decision to not go through with the re-install makes any kind of sound financial sense. No one(shop), in their right mind, will do that work for $200. It would be foolish to not accept this offer as it is going to cost much, much more to go elsewhere and start all over....and pray they know what they're doing.

I agree with Jeremey and Jeff 100% on this. This is a no-brainer. I had this exact situation happen with me several years ago. Purchased new 6-speed from reputable company - it was defective, but not discovered until it was installed. How could I possibly expect my trusted shop that I've used for years and would trust with my life, to absorb the cost of another transmission R&R for something they had no control over? Not even remotely fair to them. Frustrating to me, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It would be great if you could get the part supplier to pay for the labor, but that's not going to happen either - they just warranty the part.
And only $200 for a transmission R&R?? Talk about a no-brainer deal of a lifetime! The best I can get around here from a reputable shop is $600-$700.
+1000 for Jeff for offering to go well beyond the call of duty!!
