You should check Deuce, we just published Deuce 0.7 which provides a complete scalable STM for Java.

The cost increase is barely anything anymore. In fact with java and a coolthreads processor highly multithreaded applications you will get a large boost in concurrency. The pricing has changed a lot in the last 2 years, and sun is very compeditive. Some of their innovative designs are also unique in the AMD area, such as the 4150 which is 1U and can run 1.2tb of internal SAS disk. Sun boxes aren’t any more expensive than intel boxes anymore.
