Want to know people's opinion on whether you think Xia/Li's price tag is fair and makes sense, $40k for externals. With $30k i would have chosen them because of their reputation/results (in fact they were on my radar even till they charged $35k), but now I think this is day light robbery to charge that for externals in China (I have worked and stayed for 6 months in China, Hangzhou and trust me China is not costly, in fact the cost of living is much lower than in India for same kind of lifestyle).
