I had my 650 Dakar done at Overland Solutions too. If you're just going for the racks and panniers, it's not actually that expensive, probably 15-20% more than other places (although that does include a rack at the back too). The frames are MUCH more substantial though and a different league (IMHO) to off the shelf stuff.
Most people that use Ernie end up doing other stuff too like sidestand, footpegs, springs, fuel tanks, tool boxes etc etc. It's adding all of this stuff that has caused people to put in numbers like 1500 and 2500 earlier on in this thread. For example, I got a rack for a jerry can on the back for £100. Compare that to the Touratech larger tank at £1200, things don't seem so bad.
My recommendation is to speak to him and see what he quotes you.
