Interesting: I have seen on their page: 123 Euro/dm^2 for 4 layer
boards.

this is 3.2*2.6*123 = 1023.36 Euro for one board.

I will investigate this more deeply.

Problem is that not all pcb fabs like PCB's gerbers -- some ask for
additional money for gerber import, some give good prices only for
propritary formats like eagle.

It may be good to make a list of fabs which can work fine with PCB's
gerbers and do not try to blame the PCB program for problems.

One very cheap which can handle PCB's gerbers fine is
http://www.bilex-lp.com in hungary, but I think they can make only 2
layers and no fine structures.
