A CMS brings in additional complexity of updates and security breaches, which can cost much more than a $400 update fee a few times a year.

Exactly. Some of these sites are hosted on my own server. After having numerous PHP sites hacked (and my machine wiped twice ) static html is the only thing I trust these days.

Whoa dude, $392.10 for you to just change content on a site ? Set up a CMS and let the client change it themselves.

If clients are paying this price then it sounds like his pricing is correct.

I way overpay for my phone plan. I pay for it because i have to, not because the pricing is fair.

If you charge $400 to update your client's web site, you're just price gouging because they don't know any better. Pathetic.
