Exclamation Average cost to deck heads

Just getting prepared to do EGR/oil cooler & been wondering on the additional cost to go all the way with ARP studs & OE gaskets. Whats everyone paying to get heads checked & decked? Then just studs & gaskets right?

I had mine done as part of "The Works" (head studs, gaskets, EGR delete, etc.) and the bill said $200/head so it was $400 total for flux and decking.
