Would labor be more if I had a shop install a convertible top already attached to the vert frame with hoses or if I just brought a top and had them attach it to the frame?? [Confused]

It's far less cheaper to buy a good complete top and have it installed,close to $800-1000 for new canvas+labor rather than to have a shop install a whole complete unit..
