Checkout in a G1000 C182

Our flight school has received a C182 with a G1000. The checkout
requirements are going to be 5 hours VFR and an additional 5.6 hours
for IFR pilots. Oh, and about 6 hours of ground prior to that. Let's
see, 10.6 hours * $210/hour = $2,226 for the flying, plus $180 for the
ground, for a grand total of $2,406.

Does anyone find this excessive?

I think the ground is excessive. Why 5.6 hours for IFR pilots (as opposed to
some more even number)? Anyway, the whole thing tends to be insurance
driven, so reasonable has nothing to do with it.
