<< While testdriving a A4 2.8 today (to see how the 5-speed manual
 feels [nice!]), I realized how much I like having an armrest.
 
 Since the 1.8T doesn't have one, I asked the dealer about getting
 one as parts and having it installed. They said it's around
 $200-250 in parts, and an unknown amount of labor (since they've
 never done one).

Jeff,
If you end up buying the car from them, make them give you the arm rest at
cost (probably $150)...They are already making $ off you in the sale of the
car, so why not let you have the armrest at cost?????  It hurts them none, if
they are nice, they should be glad to help (not many dealers like this).   If
not, call Linda at Carlson Audi, she gives discounts to Qlisters.

You can probably do installation yourself...
