You know, you're exactly right. I've been weighing up all the pros and cons in my head all week about what I want to purchase.
I decided to draw up a table comparing the Carsales RRP, power and weight figures. I guess I could've thrown in the torque figures, but they're harder to compare due to different peak ranges.
Here's the result:
(I estimated a price of $30,000 for the Fiesta, but even doing a "What-if" analysis, you'd need a RRP of $39,056 to reach a $/kg/kW of 4500 [just beneath the XR6])
Obviously the XR6T/G6ET has the best power to weight ratio BUT going back up the list you gain an increase in the power-to-weight per dollar figures.
So to sum up the Fiesta ST gives the best BANG for buck.
