MapInfo is also cheaper in the USA. I saw a special offer on MapInfo 8.5 at $999 which is less than the wholesale price we get from MapInfo UK as a MapInfo dealer.
For ArcGIS it will always cost more than MapInfo - for example in MapInfo the Universal Translator is included. In ArcGIS you have to buy this separately. I suspect that ArcGIS with all the modules does a fair bit more than MapInfo, but by that stage you will be looking at 6000 pounds versus 1095 pounds.

Base ArcView is 1500 USD, each extension is 2500 USD. Prices valid for US customers only. At least here in Denmark a base arcview license is minimum double up these prices. Not sure about the extensions.
