MSRP for the Cisco Aironet 1250 with two draft-n radios (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and all mounting hardware it $1299. It does not include antennas or power supply / injector. I believe the rubber duck antenna is $19. Power supply is $59 and power injector is $149. You should know how many points off list you normally get to figure out what your cost will be.
While none of the 802.11n APs from any of the enterprise WLAN vendors are the bargain of the century, my understanding is that ASPs range between $700 and $900 AP. I'm sure there are institutions out there that get 50% or more off list price -- please don't brag on this list. =) My question to you: how many of you will go with a single-radio 802.11n-capable AP? That appears to make a $200+ difference, per AP.

Haven't seen EDU pricing for it and with competition from Aruba and Meru hot on their tails, I'm hoping it's aggressive. The jury is still out on the RF cloud method of the Merus of the world but with all the channels available at 5GHz, it makes most sense (in my opinion) to use all the channels and have a controller automatically manage them.
