Due to the stackup (4 layers with ground plane on the top layer), el
cheapo fab houses like ExpressPCB or SparkFun's batch service won't do
this board. PCBexpress will. It looks like their pricing would work out
to be 6 boards for $389 ($64.83 each)  10 boards for $488 ($48.80 each).
As the quantity goes up the per piece price goes down (duhhh!) to around
$20 if you are willing to buy 100 pieces.

 

Does anyone have experience with other fab houses that we might look at
for a quote that you've had good results from and have what you consider
decent pricing? It has been a while since I've investigated pricing  for
prototype board fabs.
