It depends what that amount is paying for. At my LBS, the "full" fitting is $300 BUT that is for the life of the bike. That means if there are further tweaks needed, you get new pedals or cleats and adjustments are needed, or if you change something on the bike that requires a refitting, etc. you don't need to pay another fitting fee. Ever, for the life of that bike. Of course you still pay for any parts/labor that are needed. They keep detailed notes on you and your bikes, which really helps if you wind up with pain at some point. If you purchase the bike at that shop then the full fitting is included in the purchase and you still get the life-time fit for free. Very nice and well worth it. It pays to ask what each level covers. I don't think there are may stores that offer a full fit quite like what I just described but it is worth finding out.
