Recovery for Outlook vers. 2.0 demo appears to have been able to
recover almost all of my messages and calendar events, but not certain
about the contacts - they don't appear to have been recovered, but
difficult to tell.

Any other suggestions before I take the $250 leap of faith ??

There are other PST recovery tools that may cost less. Google can find them
for you.
