Vasile,
I don't use any features considered state of the art. My smallest hole
size is .024", my smallest trace/clearance is .010". The smallest SMT
components are 0805, and the biggest part is a 28 lead PIC 18F2220 (SO).
Some hobbyists could make this board. If I needed embedded/micro vias,
trace widths of .004, and 8 layers, I'd use a top-notch board house.
There is no reason this board lot should cost 64*5 = $320. (4PCB lowest
charge, regardless of quantity < 10).

If I get my boards from pcbnet and they don't work I'll eat my words.
I've gotten boards from Futurlec in the past that work fine (they're the
cheapest). They're not high quality but they did work. Now they just
don't want to get the job done.
