Is $420 to install a front door without brickmolding (customer provides door and hardware) a fair price?

Project Details

I've got a landlord special door and want something that lets in a bit more light. Replacing it seems a little out of my DIY-ability/confidence to 'do it right'. I'm questioning the advice to get a door without brickmolding, as online research suggests it might be done to cut costs and could reduce waterproofing. I'm still waiting to hear back on the reason for the advice, which seems odd to me as an amateur DIYer.

Quote Details

This quote is for the installation of a front door. The contractor advised against a door with brickmolding, though the reason for this recommendation was not provided at the time of the quote. The homeowner is responsible for providing the new door, hardware, and any other necessary materials for the installation. The cost is an approximate value.

Thank you for your feedback!
