Opinions Please on 5513 inserts

Have been offered these for my 5513 which has a service insert.

They seem to be three different sizes - which of the fat two would you buy?

They're not cheap! But the middle size is about $400 cheaper than the fattest size!

"service bezel insert"..........$125.00

Thicker font insert................$850.00

Very fat font insert...............$1250.00

So I guess the top insert in the top picture is the right one to go for as it has the same 40 as yours? I think that is also the most expensive! Are these pricings a little expensive do you think?

Looks as the service insert is the only one priced properly.
