SGC SG500 $2.60 per watt.
PW1 and Quadra around 4 dollars per watt.  (these are $4K ea. right?)
Centurion $1.66/watt.  Okay, now it's more like $1.83/watt.
Titan III $2.33/watt
(based on list prices rounded off.)  
You just flat-out always get more watts for ur money with tubes.  Now, that 
may change in the future, and for now if you have the bucks for solid state, 
FB.    I guess it's a matter of operator style.  I don't make sudden wide 
QSY changes; I park somewhere for a few hours and ragchew.  Therefore manual 
tuning is okay for me.  In fact, I kind of enjoy it.  Part of the ham 
experience and allows me to keep my eye on how the gear is doing.  I liken 
it to the feel you get in an automobile with manual transmission.
