sounds like a good deal .... but just check a couple of things. I have had 3 novated leases. On a novated lease the yearly salary sacrifice does not just equal 12 * your lease payment. It also includes an additional amount for your running costs (rego, insurance, fuel - hence the fuel cards, tyres etc). $1,200 towards insurance sounds interesting - are you sure it is not just a $1,200 fleet insurance policy (which again you pay for out of your running costs account)? If you miss your km bracket it is a killer as well, so make sure you can do those kilometres!
Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, but from what you have said, to me it looks like the novated lease quote is incomplete.
