That sounds like a reasonble amount. In retrospect, with all the problems I've had after doing my own cylinder head, I'd pay that. The resurfacing and valve grind is worth about $300. It takes about 3 hours to get the cylinder head off the car and about 4 or 5 hours to get it back on. Gasket set bought online is about $75. Having someone else worry about it for you so you don't have to: priceless. This is assuming you can find a good shop, of course. Keep in mind I'm viewing this from the perspective of a botched DIY job on my car (see post below).
