Yeah, I've heard that for these engines a brand new head is preferred over rebuilt ones.
Something about reconditioned head failure rate being high, but I don't know the truth behind it.

I would say the mechanic's getting the brand new head lot cheaper than $1900.

You're not likely to see the real invoice from the cylinder head supplier.
