+1 on getting a solid controller setup, saves you the back ache too. I'd rather save some money on that and put it on a beefy set of speakers...

That said, I understand the business, and most my gigs I book are priced what I expect.
Fair play, to be honest 90 per hour is not asking too much. Then they paid a lot for a noob if I may say so...
