I can't knock the parlour podge because I've never done one, I've always done Indies. Your right about the price hike, what I am finding though is that with a lot of indie prossies the price drops if you visit a second time AND you can still get a real good hour up here for 80 to 100 quid, also, you tend to get more time, I find indie half hours tend to be 40 to 45 minutes long.
