Default Cometic gaskets, Clevite mains, Cloyes timing = $$$$$$ ?

Please help me sanity check these prices:

Quote for Cometic HP head gaskets for $200.
Quote for Clevite coated mains, $143.
Quote for Cloyes billet timing chain set, $160.

These are 2-3 times alternatives (Z06 head gaskets, FelPro coated mains, rollmaster non-adjustable double-roller).

But these are recommended to me since I am using forged dished pistons for 9.1:1, ARP 12-pt head studs, 12psi boost, and ARP main studs.

Are these prices right?

Cometic - I called Cometic directly, and ordered 2 individual gaskets (3.910 bore) Part# C5475 for $72.95 retail list.

Clevite "H" mains - http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...&catid=373 $85.00

Can't find someone with timing gears in stock yet...

I checked with SDPC, last week they told me 3 weeks, this morning they told me 2 weeks. A shipment is due to come in from Australia.
