The key words being "can" and "could". How about saying SACD is less expensive because of the things that can't be done, such as no DVD-Video compatible multi-channel and no extras.

Producing a fully-featured DVD-Audio disc can be more expensive than an SACD, but it doesn't have to be. There are no requirements for any video or any extras, there isn't even a requirement for Dolby Digital or DVD-Video compatible PCM, in which case a DVD-Audio project becomes far easier to produce and no more expensive than an SACD version.
