It really depends on how geometrically complex the exterior of your house is....do you live in a basic box, with no dormers, bay windows, or complex angles and lots of corners? Go by the old "count the corners" rule of thumb: count the number of exterior corners on your house....the more corners, the higher the labor costs to fit all of that Hardie board.
I'd be less concerned about the replacement costs than the unexpected discoveries that will happen when you start pulling the vinyl. At least in my ridiculously wet climate, it's perfectly normal to find a few rotten windowsills, etc once you peel back the skin of an older house.

so far all he did was peel up one piece of siding and knock on the house & said 'hey you have plywood under here so that's good. 
yes its a fairly large house (3800sf on one level) and mostly a rectangle but there are 8 dormers.
4 facing the front
2 facing left side
1 facing right side
1 facing the back
lots and lots of corners 
here you go..you can see 7 of the 8 dormers and some idea of all the corners involved. most are in the front; only 4 corners in the back i believe.
