Pricing is usually down to the economics of supply and demand. I haven't skied Lech (but would like to) but I'm led to believe it's a premium resort and as such I wouldn't expect bargain basement pricing.
We always use Snowberry when we ski in Val d'Isere and their kit is brilliant. Current online price for int/adv skis for the week is 139 Euros. Adv/expert is 159 euros.
Therefore Lech seems comparable (unless you are being asked to pay 165 euros for substandard kit)
Out of interest, I only paid 995 krone for advanced skis when in Are, Sweden recently. That calculates to about £80 for the week which seemed amazingly good value.

Indeed in Soldeu, which some people would say was a 'cheap' resort, you would pay 150-200euros for top of the range equipment.

OldAndy: Out of interest, why did you change from the Cham 87 to the Head Rev 90.
