Hell yea man. At my uncles machine shop. I used to port heads there....man he charged like $150 just to gasket match, another $150 to gasket match exhaust, it was $250 to do a bowl job, and $650 got you totally ported and seats cut for larger valves. And if you wanted a full out competition job it was $1,100.

So i would take those S.O.B's and run.
