My 3S-FE just lunched itself

Well the engine in my Celica has finally decided to give up the ghost. It's making some god awful noises and has left a nice puddle of oil in carport. The big end bearings are destroying themselves and I have no real desire to see a conrod fly out the front of the block so I have decided that an engine replacement is in order.
At this stage I have four options:
1. Find someone who can do a backyard engine swap of a 3S-FE and pick up an engine for $650 from Sydney.
2. Give Capital Parts Plus $1500 to supply and fit an imported 3S-FE
3. Give Belconnen Engine Centre $2800 to supply and fit an new engine (or get mine rebuild for the same cost)
4. Find a place in Canberra that will rebuild the engine for less than $2800 or do some work to it.
Can you guys in Canberra give me some advise as to what you think the best option is? I personally think #2 is the way to go because they give a 2 year parts and labour warranty.
