Dick,

That sounds expensive. Hydrometers are down around $6-7 for a regular
hydrometer. You can get narrow range hydrometers where you need a set of 3
hydrometers that cover the range that the inexpensive hydrometer covers.
The narrow range hydrometers are probably about $20 each so $60 for a set.
If that is what they are pricing, you do not really need that quality unless
you get real serious. Even then, I question whether the added accuracy of
the narrow range hydrometers really improve the accuracy of your alcohol
calculation. There is probably a 0.5 to 1.5% error in the calculation
methods so getting a better SG reading will not improve your estimate.
