Costs more for a quality product, that also replaced the plastic cable end links with metals ones. I understand wanting to stay OEM, but the OEM shifter assembly is full of inferior materials and you can feel it. You can't see the shifter under your air box anyway, but IMO the DG Sigma looks nicer than the stock piece anyway.
It's funny you say that, I priced out the required parts at the dealership, here's what it looked like.
VAG part numbers
*1J0 711 203 L – Metal side to side lever $82.98
*1J0 711 550 – White plastic “E” shape guide $14.83
*1J0 711 761 C – Black plastic Bowen cable end $38.94
* **N91 225 101 - Retaining washer, metal clip $1.58
8J0 711 046 D - Gear shift lever (kit) $104.09
N90 761 102 - Hex collared nut $1.14
N90 815 903 - Retaining washer, metal clip $1.50 x 2
*Part number 1J0 711 202P has been superseded (according to the parts guy) by the top four part numbers.
** I have no idea where this part number came from, the parts guy wrote it down, but I can't find it in thepartsbase web site. Presumably, this should just be a third N90 815 903.

All told it would be about $250 CDN for those parts, plus the $20 USD + shipping for the bushing from 42DD.
Not much cheaper unless I can get the parts from somewhere else.
For anyone trying to gather the parts numbers, here's the 42DD SKU numbers
