Chevren--
 
My vote is that you should do the tourney, if only because you've never done one before! I really enjoy live MTTs and have a better than decent cash record. 
 
Before I address the points you made, I have a few questions. What is the max number of players? Unless the room is gigantic there usually is a cap because they want to keep the cash games going. Also, what is the pay structure? Does it change depending on the number of entrants?
 
A.) That service does sound a tad high. The riverboats I play usually have a $5.00+$5.00 fee--5 for the house; 5 for the dealers. 
 
B.) As a rule I always sit down at a cash game a couple of hours before a tourney. Generally, people playing at the tables get first priority on registering which is cool if it looks like there's going to be a huge crowd wanting to do the tourney. Nothing worse than showing up to register and being turned away. You can usually ask the floor how fast the tourneys have been filling up. The best part is that a lot of the people sitting down are tourney-only players just passing the time and not playing attentively so you have a good shot at winning your entry fee. The extra 1000 chips would be icing on the cake and maybe preclude your having to rebuy. 
 
C.) Rebuy tournies are cool because the pot is sweetened and also some players play wilder than usual because they have that option. The real play begins after the rebuy period is over so playing very tight before that is in your favor.
 
Side bets about who lasts the longest is always fun too. Go for it and let us all know how you do.
