Found them on Optics Planet for $148.75 and with a 5% off coupon brings it to $141.31 with free shipping.
Anyone find them cheaper anywhere?

Yup. I looked all over for a better deal, but that's about the going rate. I wound up going with the Ameriglo I-Dot Pros instead, for $90 shipped off Ebay. Very similar design, and they even use Trijicon inserts. I used the extra $60 to buy my own sight press so I can swap sights whenever I want.

What brand sight press did you get and how do you like it?

Simple, stout, inexpensive, and extremely easy to use. Had the stock sights on my M&P9c swapped out in 10-15 minutes.

I guess my next question is... How do you know for sure you have the sights properly centered?

I think a better question is, how do you know for sure that S&W centered the sights when they assembled it? 
I checke dmine with a set of dial calipers...
But, you can also mark the placement of the front sight with a pencil and just line the new sight up with the marks. The Ameriglo rear has the same shape as the top of the slide, so as long as it matches the radius of the slide, it's pretty much centered.
If they're off a bit when you go to the range, just remove your sight press from your range bag and make the necessary adjustments.

IME/O, M&P sights are pretty easy to line up using the ole Mk1 Mod 0 eye ball. I changed out sights on all 3 of mine and only had to go back and readjust 1 of them. But a good set of calipers will always tell the truth, then you never have to worry or wonder.

That's a fair price, but make sure you call and ask if they're in stock. They don't show stock status for anything on their website.
MGW for the sight tool.
