My qualms are the affect on the factory warranty (i've rebuilt motors and don't have an issue with the actual installation of four bolts for the part), if I install it, the part has its 12 month/12k warranty but if in the unlikely event that my installation fails and causes another part to fail then I blow my factory warranty. If Toyota installs the part (and once again in the unlikely event) and it fails, its on them. I'm at 18k miles and this is the first car I've owned with a warranty so i really don't want to jeopardize it.

The only downside to the dealer is a little extra money.

But you are buying piece of mind. In addition to the part being covered by Toyota warranty when you have it installed by them, you are less likely to get hassled over any other rear suspension/axle/brake related issue if you needed service - none of that "oh your rear drums went bad because YOU installed this rear bar".
