I don't know what your friend is charging you, but I don't think MFJ diplexers are less expensive than competitors. If it's free then it's worth what you paid for it. ;)

From Ham Radio Outlet:
Diamond MX72H 1.6-30 + 49-150 MHz low pass, 400-460 MHz high pass, 60 dB isolation, mix SO-239, high and low PL-259 on cables $49.95
Comet CF-416A
1.3-170 MHz low pass, 350-540 MHz high pass, 60 dB isolation, mix SO-239, high and low PL-259 on cables $54.95
MFJ-916BC
1.3-35 + 50-225 MHz low pass, 350-540 MHz high pass, 60 dB isolation, mix SO-239, high and low PL-259 on cables $79.95

My success rate with MFJ products has been about 50%. When I had a HRO close to me I could at least drive back to return or replace whatever device I chose to purchase(re: gamble) Trips to HRO weren't the worse thing in the world to do so, no big deal. Perhaps others have had better luck than I but if unless the price was really right, I'd opt for another brand.
