I'm seeing the WTB rim for about $54.

Your LBS should be able to get the rim for even less.

I've seen reports of costs of swapping a rijm. Assuming everything is reasonably new, true, with a good hub and bearings, then the swap should be easy, painless, and perhaps only need the new rim plus maybe nipples.

The cost of the rim plus swap (done at a LBS) should come to around $100 total. Perhaps less if your LBS gives you a discount.

You're not talking hundreds of dollars.
