Like I said before, it's basically a factor of 10 you're looking at. As GM, you're more than free to say that the limits are higher for Quick & Dirty Enchantment, or that Slow & Sure Enchantment allows the input of 10 energy points per enchanter per day rather than 1; if enchanters' wages remain the same, you should thereby get 1/10 the time and therefore 1/10 the cost for most items.

My suggestion is to allow a whole bunch of modifiers for ritual casting. This lets you put more people into the ritual circle, which raises the level you can do Q&D enchantment at.

Additionally, let unskilled spectators contribute energy to Slow & Sure, as per Ceremonial Magic. Voila, the land of +1 swords.
