The room in question is 27x11x14. Walls are drywall/sheetrock and the floor is carpeted. It will be used for monitoring finished projects in a small film house that does corporate commercials and wedding films, so nothing crazy. And record voiceovers for said commercials on occasion. The amount of materials they recommended goes up to almost 5,000 dollars. Here's the recommendations:

Thank you for turning to Auralex® Acoustics, Inc. for help with your acoustical needs. I have attached a PDF document which includes a top-view drawing of your room as well as suggested product and product placement. Please keep in mind that these suggestions are prepared off-site, based on the information supplied, and the combined experience of Auralex® Acoustics.
First, for optimal acoustic symmetry and critical listening, center your mix position on the short wall with your speakers firing down the length of the room. Also, place your listening position at 38% of the length of the room, or 10’ 3” from the front wall in your case. This should allow the sound in the room to develop more naturally, and can help improve the overall quality and accuracy of your mixes.
Given the dimensions and application of your room, I am recommending the following:
-Twelve (12) M224 Corner Bass Traps ProPanels
Mounting Hardware Included
-Fourteen (14) B224 ProPanels
Mounting Hardware Included
-Fourteen (14) B222 ProPanels
Mounting Hardware Included
-Three (3) B224 Ceiling Cloud ProPanels
Eight (8) Cloud Anchors Included
-One Pair ProMAX Portable Treatment System
Two (2) Stands and Panels Included
-One Wave6 System
Mounting the M224 ProPanel Bass Traps in the corners as shown can help control low frequency build up, which should smooth out the overall bass response of the room. Backfilling the corner behind them with additional insulation or heavy fabric can increase their effectiveness. ProPanel Corner Bass Traps are shipped with special angled impaling clips for installation.
Spread over the walls and ceiling as shown in the attached PDF, the ProPanels can help control harsh high frequency reflections between parallel surfaces. This can help to control “room ring” as well as any excess reverberation in the room. For additional low frequency control, you may consider using our 1” or 2” offset impaling clips (sold separately) to provide space between the wall and the panel. The air space between the two can help improve the overall broadband absorption of the panels, and should help improve overall bass response in the room.
As for ceiling installation, we suggest using our Cloud Anchors (4 per panel). Your dealer should be able to provide you with more information on this mounting technique. I have also taken the liberty of attaching installation instructions to give you a better idea of how the system works.
Place the Peak Pyramid Diffusors on the walls and ceiling as shown. The diffusors should help more effectively scatter the high frequency reflections. This can help create a comfortable listening environment without losing the “live” feeling of the room. Be sure to rotate each diffusor 90-degrees from the adjacent one for best results. You can also backfill the cavity (about 2/3 full) with loose insulation for extra absorption.
Space the ProMAX Panels evenly around the listening position as shown, and they should help control overall reverberation and reflections while mixing or monitoring. They can also be easily moved around the room to create a recording area for vocals and instruments.
The Wave6 System is to be suspended from the ceiling above the first reflection point. It can help redirect the first reflections from your speakers into the treatment above.

Is that just a little too much or am I crazy? We're in a bit of a budget, is there a better approach trying to tackle main problems area first? Thank you for your help in advance, it would be greatly appreciated.
