Decent price for Timing Belt on NG?

I always replace the timing belt roller, cam and crank seals, water pump,
coolant and drive belts.  3 hours sounds like fair time.  Most people
will not replace the roller, but for an extra $30 it's cheap insurance
IMHO.

Water Pump shouldn't add more than another $40-$50 to the job.
