i had a new transmission put in, centerforce clutch/press. plate, throwout bearing, and also had my flywheel machined. it only costed me $25. that's because i did it myself though and had to have the flywheel machined. try to knock them down like $50 though then it would sound about even

offer to buy them lunch and a 30pack and see if they'll do it for just that. if they were cool they'd take it or knock some more money off 
I think $300 is a fair price. It's pretty descent amount of work you're having done. Not all that hard, but time consuming. I'd also recommend replacing your pilot bearing and rear main seal while you're in there. They're cheap and I don't think they'd add much to the labor. You'll kick yourself later if you don't.

I have nothing productive to add!
The clutch quadrant is a huge PITA -- if they do it all for $300 that doesn't sound too bad to me...?
Ripping you a new one!
That is not $275 worth of labor + $25 for the average cost of resurfacing the flywheel. I have a shop and do what you're having done for around $200 for all of it. It's not that big of a job and only takes about three hours. I'd shop around a little before I paid that much money. You can actually do it yourself and save all the labor charges.
