Mackies was less than £4k (about £3k, including VAT, from memory) when I had mine rebuilt - and uprated - by them a few years ago. They also gave a far better warranty (100k and 3 years) than Chester - or, indeed Audi.
For those reasons, I went with them, and the 'box has been fine since then - just needs a 2 year service from them for <£200.
I would touch converting it to a manual, personally, unless you've got deep pockets and lots of time.
