Water filtering system?

I had a water guy come out and give me an estimate on what I need. Here's my water quality

ph7.6
hardness 14
iron 1
nitrates 0
TDS 315
copper 0
chlorine 0
CO2 0

Here is his recommendation
A 1 cuft Fleck 7000 electronic demand control. With using the electronic controller from a Homestead 3000 system. BTW the estimate is 1595.00 installed.
Any recommendations on saving money? What do you guys think about his recommendations?

That's not a bad price, and Fleck by far, puts out the best control valve, but i wouldn't go with the demand control valve. If the machine goes into backwash while you are using the water, you will get unfiltered water into the house. Plus if you go on vacation for a week or so and no water is used, you can get some iron precipitation in the unit. A properly sized and adjusted automatic control valve can be just as salt efficient as a demand unit.
