Pretty freakin' reasonable if you consider you get brakes and hubs for the price. Not the lightest or prettiest hubs in the world, though.
I got Sachs/SRAM hubs on a commuter I've used... forever... and they work great. I've swapped them out to other frames on occasion and just loved not having to worry about setting up brakes, brake reach issues, etc...
