That sounds about right.
There was a guy on ebay recently manufacturing long range tanks for a range of 4WDs and his were around the $700-$800 + fitting.
A cheaper option to try to achieve near the same capacity is to retain the original tank and fit the small tank that goes under the rear RHS guard (about 35 litre capacity depending on model chosen). Long Range Automotive ake one, and Dolium & Opposite lock import the South African one from FRONT RUNNER 4x4 :: Roof Racks, 4x4 Accessories South Africa, Rooftop Tents, Car Fridges, Extra Fuel Tanks, Winches, Towbars
South Africa Post will post up to 30kg, so if you have a friend in SA, it may be cheaper to get one sent over.
I always thought Long Range tanks were too expensive, and for that price, I'd just carry a couple of Jerry cans. But now that I own a Defender with 150litre fuel capacity, I'd easily spend the money on a long range tank for a future vehicle. It means you don't risk getting dirty or expensive fuel in out of the way places, you only refuel once a month around town, and you can drive all day without having to stop for fuel, which means your lunch stops can be in a national park instead of a town. Also there's no risk of fuel on hands and clothes from refuelling in the bush.

Although I have been thinking of getting an aux tank as well as the replacement
