That's a very fair price for what it entails.
Usually when I do the water pump, I check for loose or broken studs and if I'm or customer is lucky, I can extract the long ones and replace with new.
Even if one or so is broken, it can sometimes be possible to drill out the stud through the hole in manifold and install a new one. But if the gasket is blown out, that will not work.
Bolts instead of studs and nuts will probably work just fine. Keep in mind that Saab's solution has not worked since the 70s when they started to install these long studs.
