For low quantity a prototype PCB services like
http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/fusion-pcb-service-4-layers-p-1383.html
might be a more cost effective choice.

50mmx60mm should fit in their 5cm x 10cm slot I would think, which for 4
layer boards is priced $69.90 for 10pcs to $169.90 for 100pcs  both with
free standard shipping, no setup fee.

If the board is only 2 layers then pricing is slightly better, $23.90 +
shipping for 10pcs to $79.90 with free standard shipping for 100pcs. No
setup fee.

Olimex also had a similar service, but not sure if they still do.

There is also some others having similar service which I can't remember
right now. Do not buy PCBs very often.
