For dollar value of components, there is an implicit relationship one can infer, for any given setting, between $ value (based on signature gear) and energy (via devotional enchantment) wherein the cash value of 1 CP of signature gear is worth 25 energy points. If you require certain spells to be cast consuming an appropriate value in material components in place of energy, this would seem balanced.
