I don't think I've ever seen SYD-DPS-SYD with Garuda for that much for economy class. I just paid $840 for August. It generally hovers around the $930-960 mark and sometimes goes up around $1050-ish but not for long before it's in the 900's again. You can get cheaper again for stays under 14 days - but I always stay for a month so they're no good to me.
Having said that, Virgin is obviously cheaper and we paid around $650 last year including one bag going over and 2 bags coming home.
I'd still pay the extra for Garuda though.
