$1200.00 is too cheap for that tank. With a new T and fittings package, including removal and disposal of the old tank that job is worth $1500.00 installed with a five yr warranty on the tank and one year guaranty on the installation.
Here in Ct the pump license is a sub category of the plumbing license. However, there are a lot of plumbers that don't know squat about troubleshooting pumps or pump/well problems.
Ball valve made reference to a few beers, he must had a few too many when he wrote those comments.

I realize it's been a few years since this post. And, I probably got ripped off. I insisted on the WellXtrol bladder tank b/c the one we have now is 25 years old and still going (although the plumber said it was down to 9psi right before he removed it). He didn't even want to replace it but if you're here changing plumbing from the exterior wall to the treatment tank, might was well replace a 25 yr old tank. I know WellXtrol costs more than the State brand he wanted to put in and if this new WellXtrol lasts even 20 years, it'll be worth it. But, I'm in Virginia - caught between two major metropolitan cities so I paid $1,625 for the tank and installation. The job appears to have been done well. Plumber was Master Plumber but I find it amazing that we had them rework (with CPVC up to the point of the treatment tanks since our water is acidic) and THAT labor/materials was only $625. The changes we wanted seemed more labor intensive than putting in the tank. Mind you, my bill was quite higher than the $1,625 for the work we had done. If the well pump ever goes out, I'll call the well folks who put the well in to begin with. I wished I'd only looked through my large box of invoices when the house was built to see if the well folks had also put the WellXtrol in. Live and learn. Moral of the story: get a few quotes and I'll ALWAYS insist on WellXtrol.

In this area, a 75 gallon gas water heater, installed, can cost $2,500.00 OR, it can cost $5,000.00 it depends on who you have do it. Your well tank is the same way.

A PK1A pressure tank kit would have saved space and worked better than a regular pressure tank. You would have had stronger constant pressure in the house and the kit is only $375.00.
