Question Cost of replacing brakes (labor only)

Well I have finally collected everything to fully replace (and slightly upgrade) my 10 year old braking system.

4 new rotors (Raceconcepts slotted/dimple drilled)
4 ceramic pads
4 rebuilt calipers (rebuilt and powdercoated by Doug)
4 stainless steel hoses

I called my trusted independent Subaru only shop (4 senior master techs who were all around when the SVX is new - probably more SVX experience then is left at any of the dealers around here, and allegedly slightly cheaper than dealer).
He quoted me $420 for the labor to install the goods.

I'm a little nervous of taking the SVX to another place to do the job, but I'm thinking there may be some big price drops. Anyone else out there had this much work done and know the labor price? Any of the mechanics out there have an idea what the fair labor charge should be?

Keep in mind I already have ALL the parts (except fluid I guess), there is no rotor resurfacing or anything involved, this is just taking the old off and putting the new on.

I had considered doing this job myself, but was still a little nervous about messing with brakes. And it's my daily driver I can't afford to do something wrong and have it stuck on blocks for days on end. Considering this price quote though I may still do that.
