I can't comment on the price because I'm in the UK.

If you're paying someone to do the job, it makes sense to replace both 
because parts are cheap and labour is expensive. There's very little 
extra labour involved in replacing the discs once the callipers have 
been removed whereas, if you need to do it later, you'll pay for the 
labour all over again.

It's different if you're doing it yourself. You can examine the discs 
for scoring and check whether they've worn close to the minimum 
permitted thickness and then take a view as to whether just to replace 
the pads.
