I would say it's a reasonable deal as far as Gunshop prices are concerned. I've come to expect most rifles in gunshops to be overpriced, sometimes to the extreme (i.e. the $499 SAR1s I've seen in my area), so it's probably the best deal you can get on a MAK that you get to hold before you buy, short of a gunshow. All that said, you could put your faith in a major supplier and probably save a bit, but then again I haven't seen anywhere that stocks MAK90s normally like they do SAR series rifles.
