Head Differences?

Always get the head tested... it doesn't cost much and a N/A no less likely to have damage.

they quoted $90 does that sound right

$90 for what exactly? You were already having them clean and mill the head correct? Checking for cracks and vacuum testing doesn't add much to the bill in my area... I'd also have the valve stem seals replaced.
