Well, I got my brand new mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro back from Tech Restore today. Cost was $200 for the work, plus $56 to FedEx it down to them, and $40 for them to ship it back - so basically $300 total.
They were very fast with the turn-around, and I don't see any "tool marks" or other defectsi introduced into the display or case. They also returned my original box to me, as requested.
As for the display itself - it's exactly what it is supposed to be. They replaced the stupid mirrored (glossy) display with a matte display and it looks great. It seems a bit more "yellow" than it should be, perhaps not as bright, but I adjusted for it somewhat by changing the display profile.
Overall, my initial impression is "this is great" - I'll post an update after I have used it for a few days and had some more time to see what I think.
