The process really isn't that much more difficult. It's really important to keep torque right, though, as you could damage the stanchions or rods by over torquing the seal head and/or footnuts.
Personally, for a $1k USD fork, I think Manitou would be wise to provide the slotted cassette tool with the fork. The rest is all done via standard tools, it's a bit of a downer having to buy or craft that to do a travel change, which is something most individuals will want and most shops won't be able to do without the tool.
