At that rate, just the rear would probably cost me more. I might email them and see if they can get just a rear for me.
fix/fix would be preferable too, I agree.
If you're interested in the options that going custom gets you, you might consider getting a cheapo wheel truing rig together and doing it yourself. You could do it for 80 or so, for a truing stand and dishing tool, if you shopped around and didn't mind consumer grade stuff. A fixed rear wheel is very easy to build because it's got no dish. You very likely won't save money doing it this way (in either the short term or the long term), and it will be a bunch of work, but you will wind up with exactly what you want and develop a useful skill to boot.
