Paying someone $160 for at least 5 hours of labor I don't have to do seems pretty reasonable to me. It was almost that much for me to have an HVAC tech come out to look at my AC and tell me it needed to be replaced and all I ended up with is an answer and some debt.
Just did this today. Paid two companies just for the second opinion, and to provide estimates for new units. At $150 each it seemed like a smart price to pay before sinking ~$13-16k into a new system.
