$1264 for LAX-IAH Economy?

I've seen a few threads where people ask about why certain flights are rather pricy. Well, I've nor run into a case where I'm trying to get from LAX to Houston, and on one hand, I've got Southwest willing to sell me direct, round trip tickets for $300 (March 11~12), and Continental's web site is asking for $1264 for similar direct, round trip tickets. Granted, the fare books into M class, and given that I'm a 1K member, I would presumably book directly into F, if F seats are available. However, in this case I'd rather not have that option of booking into F, as the $936 dollar difference is a tad bit difficult to justify.

Can someone that normally fly this flight comment on whether the price will eventually drop to something more reasonable, or must I go with Southwest on this trip?
