On the one hand, this looks like a win. Total cost was $30 plus the cost of AppleCare - definitely cheaper than a comprehensive repair or a new phone.
On the other hand, this killed almost three days of my life. If I didn't have AppleCare, I would have just bought a new (and more current) handset and done the transfer at my leisure at home (e.g., overnight while sleeping). And I wouldn't have felt like an unwelcome guest in the Apple store.
Probably will forgo AppleCare in the future.
