he still ought to look at them, cheaper faster disk arrays are nothing to sneeze at. SCSI is only a win these days if your running the most expensive 10K RPM drives in a mirrored configuration, which is common on database servers. And raid-5 in particular unless you have a minimum of 5 drives in your array, you are going to just be throwing the performance edge of the more expensive scsi drives into the toilet, so what is the point of buying them? If your doing raid 5 for redundancy, there's no argument, sata is the clear winner on the 3ware or highpoint cards.
