Actually 160x100mm (Eurocard size) which is 6.4 x 4 inches... never seems to be quite big enough! I bought the nonprofit version for $125 or so which has that limit.

$1200? I thought the top of the line was $495 (which IMHO is still a ton of money).

Meanwhile, for PCB shops I have been very happy with Olimex (www.olimex.com) in Bulgaria. If you're not in a flaming hurry (airmail takes about 10-12 days but is only $8) they will make a Eurocard-sized two layer, silkscreen, solder masked board for $26, directly from your emailed Eagle .SCH and .BRD files. Turnaround time is 3-5 days not counting the airmail.
