I have heard people around here mentioning that the whole thing costs upwards of 800$.
$200/spark plug P&L!
I understand a flat-4 isn't as convenient as a simple inline-4 for changing plugs, but what's involved? Remove the front wheels, access from underneath, loosen motor mounts and jack up the engine? As a normal service item, plugs should be easy to access.

Definitely a good idea.
