It's a blade runner type operation that Harrison Ford would be happy to get replicant spares for. Will be grand
Was quoted 100 euro inc installation per 8 meg so Sounds right

Watched that you tube video and that's an insane amount of work to replace 2 memory sticks ! What were apple thinking !
Is there a significant gain adding 8 gigs of memory ?
Is it worth the 200 euro ?

100 euro per 8Gb is reasonable, you could compare prices with Apple if you like. Whether investing in a 6 year old machine is worth it that I can't answer. Replacing the HDD may be worth investigating as well.
It depends on your exact model of iMac. If it is late 2012, you should be able to get to 32 GB. Early 2012 can only go t 16 GB RAM.

Insane amount of work for adding memory. Apple should be ashamed of themselves for engineering this to be so so difficult
When the techs saw this model they upped the price 50% and customer declined
Risks of cracking screen etc ...

You can't replace them yourself.
