CFI training cost?

Probably more than that. I spent $1200 just on the ground instuction
for the CFII add on rating.

Ouch. I did my II right after I did my AMEL checkride. After teaching two
back to back instrument ground schools, I was up on my instrument game
pretty good and the ground instruction wasn't much, a few hours of "teach me
this" and a few hours of flying/teaching approaches. Granted, I'd also just
finished flying around doing single engine instrument approaches for the
past 3 days. My checkride was totally "what are you going to do when/if and
why?"

But you're probably correct, especially if there is a significant gap
between the Commercial and the CFI with no experience in the right seat. I
just checked Sheble's site: $4215 and 8 days to complete.
