Opinions on Commission Prices/Design [important]

This Will Be A Public Service Rambling;
Commissions Are Closed!!
Alright, since the Furaffinity not so subtly tells you to not ask for commission advice on their forum, I'm gonna ask here since they can't moderate journals.
And lemme just say, that's really not cool FA. If someone's just getting into doing commission work, it's NOT a bad thing to ask for advice. It would be different if you said "Don't use art shack to ask if you should sell commissions, use [insert forum here] instead." not "if you don't know, please don't sell." That's really discouraging because that means you have to navigate this shit on your own and then you end up waaaayy under charging and that's also a huge problem for other artists. so GG Furaffinity. (and yes, they have that 'commissioners perspective' but sometimes you want the artist's perspective too.)
OKAY ANYWAY SORRY
I had to get that off my chest.
I redid my price sheet here; https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D_fYagy.....name=4096x4096
Once i have this solidly down, i'll be reopening commissions and they'll be open all the way through next semester since i only have 2 classes.
So my question is; are the prices okay and is the layout okay?
i've only been able to ask three people and none had any complaints about the layout, though one did say the ref sheets were a little pricey. If you agree, then what else would you like on the ref sheet?
Or maybe something like two add-ons instead of one? also if THAT is the case, what other add-ons would you like?

I did end up taking out the single view ref sheet though since i figure they could just order a flat and it'd be essentially the same thing.
but then again, they might need/want the add-on hmm...
i'm so indecisive lol
I think i'll add it back, but maybe give an extra add-on to the 2view one so the price feels more justified.
