The diesel will likely be more expensive than the 3.0i petrol, similar to the 3.0 twin turbo petrol and cheaper than the 4.4i (which may come with additional options included).

Diesel is about 10% more expensive than gasoline in the states and the mileage is >10% better in the diesel so it's a close tradeoff. For me, it's all about the torque for towing. The better mileage and low emissions is better for the environment too if that is your thing.
