Tough bumper decision

My Bonny got rear-ended at a stop light. Insurance cut a check $900. I have been waiting on E-bay for a GXP rear bumper cover at a good price, but hasn't happened. Note that shipping bumpers seems to run about $80.
Found a SSEi bumper cover, local, for under $250. They will paint and install for another $250. Out the door for $500. One thing I like is it seems all they do is bumper covers and have a 100% positive E-bay rating for over 600 bumpers.
Anyone see anything I am overlooking?

Thanks for the input/ comments Gents.
Went to Bumper City in person. The owner wanted to show me around- he does have 4 floors of bumper covers and states that is all he does. He added he has exclusively worked on bumpers since he was 19- he is is in 40'*. I would say the place is neat- but does lack some processes. An example is he has over 100k bumpers in stock- yet he has no inventory system, remembers them in is mind.
He ended up selling a me a GXP bumper, painted and installed, including tax for $523.00 I am happy but will have some concern on quality control.
