Joe,
My initial reaction is that your quote is fair and reasonable.  I've 
built a couple projects this large and they were in your price range.  
That being said it's hard to not get a project like this.  They can get 
it built for considerably less money, they could use OSC as the core 
shopping cart, and then start leveraging stuff into it.  Then they're 
in trouble going forward.  Sometimes I ask the client when do they want 
to pay the piper? Now? Later?  Unfortunately the answer is too often, 
later.  I tend to let those folks work with someone else.  They 
typically end up spending 3x - 5x more than they needed to on the 
project.
I resonate with the sentiments, about the need to get people educated 
about the true costs of development projects.
Chris
