FWIW, I don't think anyone used the word 'reasonable'.. I think 'normal' has been the the most oft used term -- when referring to what complete bike makers upcharge.

EDIT: What bike btw? And, is this Di2 upgrade model a listed model on the bike brand's website, or what your LBS is quoting to provide you with the upgraded bike? If the latter, then I'd guess that they're just buying the 6-7 parts necessary to switchover to Di2, and in this case, you may want to ask them if you get to keep the take-off Ultegra mech parts.
