Interesting: I have seen on their page: 123 Euro/dm^2 for 4 layer boards. this is 3.2*2.6*123 = 1023.36 Euro for one board. I will investigate this more deeply. > Four boards won't be any cheaper.

It may be good to make a list of fabs which can work fine with PCB's gerbers and do not try to blame the PCB program for problems. One very cheap which can handle PCB's gerbers fine is http://www.bilex-lp.com in hungary, but I think they can make only 2 layers and no fine structures.
