The difference is the original manufacturer had them made in a sufficiently large quantity to get the price of setup/teardown, material, spindle time, and profit to the point he could charge $1,200 a pair and not lose money.

You are going to use a shop that does not have and needs to create the CAD model, the CAM model, the tool pathing, build any fixturing hardware, buy cutters, and do the setup and tear down to get to the next job.

Your one-off pricing will be very different under those conditions.
