MAF & more

1998 986. I got some 1123 & 1125 codes and some power lag and took the car to the shop. They scanned it while driving and said the MAF is bad. On the advice of the forum, I disconnected the cable to the MAF and suddenly the engine ran very nicely with no lag. So, I am assuming this is indeed the problem. So, several questions:

1) have any of you had ongoing success with cleaning the MAF or is it usually a "replace" type of situation ?
2) the dealer quoted $200 in LABOR for this repair, but it looks like a 15 minute swap out. Am i missing something here?
3) what are the hazards of driving with the MAF disconnected ?
4) what should I expect to pay for the new part and where is the best place to purchase?

As always, THXX in advance.
