You need to specify the type of installation that you're looking for. Most shops these days use a "precut" method, where they use templates provided by the film manufacturer (possibly with some adjustments) to cut the film before it's on the car. This has the benefit of not risking scratches to your paint, but it does leave the edge of the film a few mm away from the edge of the panel in places where the film can't be wrapped around the edge.
The alternative is a "bulk" (or "custom") install, where large sheets of film are cut directly on the car. This method can almost completely eliminate visible edges, but it uses more material, and there is a risk of an unskilled installer scratching your paint when cutting the film. Bulk installation is more expensive, because of the additional material required and the need for a more skilled installer.
So before comparing prices you need to decide which method you want. Otherwise, you're comparing apples and oranges.
BTW, I used APEX in Addison. They did a full bulk install on my G80.
