If you have a Phillips screwdriver, the only cost is the MAF cleaner. No gaskets to worry with. No recalibration/training required. The hard part is unplugging the connector and that's pretty easy.

Cleaning the TBs is not what I would call an easy job but, going by the DIYs and comments on this site, it's not all that difficult for your average weekend mechanic. Looks to me to be one (small) degree of difficulty above changing brake pads.
i cleaned my MAF's after i cleaned and re-oiled my K&N drop in filters. doing this did nothing to fix the issue. (i thought i might have fouled the MAF's when i re-oiled the filter, so i cleaned the sensors a week after the K&N's were cleaned)
