I had a little over 650 ft^2 installed last year. It was an engineered hand scraped hickory. I spend $5000 give or take for installation and materials. I want to say the flooring was about $3.99 a ft^2 and installation was $1.99 ft^2. I did not put down super expensive flooring because I do not plan on living in my house that much longer. This is in Georgia so I am not sure of the installation price differences between the two states. I do know Lowe's charges more for installation than the two independent stores I had quotes from, but chose my store based on the owner living in my neighborhood and seeing some houses in the neighborhood they had done work at. I installed flooring for a few years on the side when I was in college so I knew what was good and what was bad, and planned to do it myself but for $1300 bucks I would let someone else's knees take the abuse.

ETA: Flooring gets discontinued about as frequently as Iphones so I would check around online so see if anyone still has the floor you are looking to add to in stock, but there might be some variations between lot runs, but you should be able to mix the boxes and eliminate that issue.

We did that with cork in our bathroom and closet. I found some that was more than 50% off. I had a contractor there working on some plumbing stuff for me, so I asked him what it would cost to tack that on to his estimates, and it was well worth it just to pay him while they were there. He actually laid it all himself because it was cork and he didn't want his guys to get in a hurry and mess something up, since he knew I only had enough of it to do that room and have a little room for error. It came out great, I saved a ton, and saved my knees and back.
