Does anyone know if Atari will be providing an upgrade path for the current
520ST owners to an "official" 1040ST?  I'm not sure I could do the piggy
backing myself.

Alternatively, does anyone recommend a shop which does the upgrade to 1
meg?  The best I've seen wants $200 for the $50 of parts.  Is this
reasonable?  Anyone interested in upgrading mine for less?

I think $200 is a fair price.  It took me from 4:00PM to 1:00AM to upgrade
and then another few hours nailing down loose ends (for example the mem
controller worked loose and I had to open up the box and reseat the chip).
