Head Problems

So our Laguna died rather spectacularly the other week and we've discovered that one of the cambelt pulleys disintegrated taking the belt with it and valves, etc.

We've been quoted a small fortune to repair but the garage suggest if I can fit a new head myself they'll time it up for me so my question to you mechanics is:

How expensive and difficult is it to fit a new head to an engine and is it a cost effect job or is it worth just getting rid of the car?
