are you saying that I should keep the "no prices" active and this would work?

Can you help me understand what you mean by "this would work"? Work for what? All the "no prices" stylesheet does is hide the prices. If that's what you mean by "works" then yes, it works. If you think it will somehow do something different or more than that... Then I'm not sure what you mean.
