As someone who just had to replace two bathroom fans with larger fans, you're not only paying the trade to do the job; you're paying them for saving you the aggravation.
For instance, if you save two hundred bucks by doing it yourself how far ahead are you with all things considered? You may not have professional level skills so the job might look a little rough. You may have to crawl around in the attic, contort your body, and wind up with a stiff neck for three days. You may scare the dog into going under the bed by cursing because you have to trim drywall for the fourth time to make it fit. For $200 more you could have avoided all of it and ended up with someone who does the work professionally doing a better job than you could have managed. Just my thoughts though.
