A quick look around doesn't show any SAS drives over 300GB. So I guess it depends on what you value more.
A quick look at the Hitachi data sheets also shows that the SAS drives have one order of magnitude higher error rate. SATA is 1 in 10^15 and SAS is 1 in 10^16.
That's one of the reasons why the capacities aren't higher. More bits are dedicated to error correction.
