I thought the anti-F22 crowd said they were 250 million?

The lower figure is usually 'replacement cost' while the higher figure that you quoted is the project cost divided by the no. of units to be procured. All that engineering cost has already been 'sunk', so the only figure that is relevant is the replacement cost.
