That's exactly the sort of recommendation I was hoping for. Thanks!

Cheaper, probably. Easier..., dunno.

I actually opened-up my wife's Thinkpad (X61, non-tablet) the other day
to clean and lube the fan; cleaning was easy enough, lubricating
didn't go quite as well--getting the fan *out* to expose the correct
side looked like way more work than I wanted to do (I'd rather be
hacking on one of my software projects....).

We'll see how the quotes come back from the professionals--most of the
issues are either cosmetic or otherwise tolerable; but the flopsy display...,
not so much.
