I paid £525 in 2002 for a new mainsail for a 22 foot Pandora - this is one of those rigs with a big jib and small mainsail, so it would have been bigger than the sails you are looking for, but not hugely so.
On that basis Jeckells' quotations are in the right general area. But I didn't shop around as I was in a hurry (because the sail that came when I bought the boat tore in half as I was bringing her home, and I wanted to use her for the remaining few weeks of the season). You aren't in any hurry and I suggest you get at least one other quotation just to see what the market is.
It might be worth it to you to pay a premium to use AR's own sailmakers - and Jeckells are good - but it is always worth getting a cross reference
