Yeah, if you go with 3' dishes you might be getting close to $1500 in cost, but that'll easily cover it with 2 footers.
The only parts involved are going to be the dishes and the radios, so it's pretty simple to price... well, I suppose mounts and surge suppressors too, but I assume you know where to get those...
