I cant remeber who I used, but if you can find the flanges/Ujs etc and just get them to join the two shafts together /shorten/lengthen etc.. it would
be cheaper!

I recently used these guys and although for a ZX12/Sierra, it was half the price that you had been quoted

Can recommend and found dealing with them a real pleasure.

I got mine from Congleton Propshafts.
I took in and old Sierra one and asked them to make a new one using the existing ends. They replaced everything but the front spline and rear flange,
new UJ's, balance and painted for £85+VAT.
Was a few years back mind and I did drop off and collect but may be worth a call.

Yes, it will need to be balanced!

The prop needs to be balanced, the only way to know for sure is for a professional to put it on their balancing machine.
