Calibration by ISF-trained tech--worth it? Why so expensive?

I've read posts in this forum & others by people who've paid between $200 and $300 to have their TVs professionally calibrated by an ISF-trained technician. And I'm wondering two things:
1) Is the improvement worth the cost?
2) How long does a full calibration and why is it so expensive?
I'd be willing to pay, say, $100 for an hour to 90 minutes of a technician's time, but paying two or three hundred bones to calibrate a $550 TV (Panasonic CT32A20) seems excessive. Advice? Thoughts? Thanks . . .
