I don't know how you're going to do much better than $220 even with cheap pads & rotors. Say you're in traffic and someone jams on their brakes in front of you? I know the better stopping power saved my front end a few times. If you're going to get them in the future you're going to be spending even more $. You're not making sense. How many miles are on the car? If your rotors are not warped and slight turn is only needed then pads for four corners from him are about $100 I think. Do seaches in this forum. I once thought brakes were were difficult until I did them the first time. Now I look forward to working on them. VERY EASY. Just need a C-clamp to push in the front pistons back on and a torx bit for the rear calipers. Common tools are used for the rest. Find another CEGer close to you to help as well.
