Default Replace all injectors

Hi All,

I had posted that my 90 Vette failed emissions (freaking Houston), and it
all points to one fuel injector.
The question is, should I go ahead a replace all injectors since the top of
the engine will be torn apart and
I'll get hit with $500 in labor (no matter what).

I'm thinking yes, but am also miffed about the cost of the injectors (about
$100 each, does this sound right?).
Total estimated cost 500 labor, 800 injectors and about 50 (for gaskets and
seals) -- 1350!

It has been said before and I'll bet it gets said allot more, get the Ford
injectors nearly 1/3 the cost and just as good.
