It's certainly overkilled as a timing reference. Look at Garmin (who makes a $99 OEM receiver although I do not know if it's got a 1 PPS output), Canadian Marconi, Motorola, Ashtech, etc. which all make lower cost GPS boards. Look at http://www.navtechgps.com (note that they generally have high prices) for some ideas.
