I reckon that the Mackie's method is the 'economy' method. For a D2, it's well under £200, including the ATF, and it's done properly - a full flush with warm oil and the very fine mesh filter. They'll also tell you how it looks, which is a good indication of the health of the box. They recommend a change every 30 or 40,000 miles which, IMHO, is a bargain if it extends the life of the gearbox.
