That was a terrible Apple Store experience. When I took my 2010 i3 iMac in for its 1TB drive replacement (right BEFORE the Apple recall), they gave me several options (which OS I wanted installed on the new drive) and did it quickly.
The only time I've experienced where a repair took longer than 1 business day was when they broke the Apple computer when repairing and had to order a new part (this was an early Intel iMac).
I DO agree that the absolute best way is to make a clone then just do a 'brain transplant' back onto the new drive.
