Mine was 30yrs old when I bought it with a broken window.

Glass shop at that time (10 yrs or so ago) charged me a whole $50 for a 3' by 2' piece of glass including the Tempering and installation into the frame. Took about 1 week to get new glass.
I still think yours may have been able to be replaced for a more reasonable cost than what you were quoted but that was your choice.
Glad you are happy with your latest rig.
