Guy's, anyone know roughly how long it should take to do gears on the front and rear?

I'm thinking about doing this myself too. What tools did you need to get it done?

I too have debated taking on the challenge to swap out my gears myself. I'll be interested to see what it takes,

Make sure you have the right tools for the job, I had great difficulties crushing the crush sleeves, my two cents is let a reputable company do it !!!

That may not be a bad idea. Spending $500 on a gear set and ruining it could cost a lot more than the initial $1000 to $1,500 it would cost to pay someone to throw them in.
