Pricing looks good. I try not to resurface things if they dont need it (ie make it last as long as possible). Why dont you measure it and see if it is out of spec. Take a straight edge and feeler gauges. Lay the straight edge across the block and see if you can insert a feeler gauge in it, if you can then it needs to be resurfaced, if not then you are good to go. You could also take it and have them inspect it for you as well...though most places just mill it .010" and call it a day.
