If the first statement were true, there would be many more quality rebuild shops out there, but as there aren't very many decent much less quality rebuilders, and more than a few really bad ones, there seems to be some indication that there really is something unusual about these engines.
As for the second statement, when it comes to engine rebuilds, you generally get what you pay for. With just replacing the factory cylinders which tend to become more oval than round running the better part of five grand, no M96/97 rebuild is going to be cheap.
