Congratulations on your purchase. I also have a 250 and love it. I did the same thing, installed shoulder harnesses soon after buying the aircraft. I put shoulder harnesses in a Cherokee that did not have the inertia reel and I did not like them. I am happy with the Alpha aviation inertia reel belts. They do have tension on them but I don't notice it. I was able to find a set of Piper factory shoulder harnesses for the rear seats from Duncan aviation for around $500.00. The install was easy with the headliner down for the front belts.
I also did the tail inspection and 1000 hour gear work. These two items weren't cheap but well worth the cost.
Good luck
