Can anyone give me a price comparison for the two materials? I see both are Medium ish prices, but is one more expensive in general?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

DuPont, BASF, DSM and Ticona spring to mind. I am sure there are many others in your region where ever that may be.
Oh and you need to take SG into account.
You probably should also consider cycle times and other processing costs if this is a real project and not just a purely academic question.

The density is extra important for automotive applications as it translates to gas mileage.
To answer your question fully would require an analysis of historic pricing for both over a 5 year period or longer.
