Think of HSM as a more convenient alternative to a traditional tape system, rather than a cheaper alternative to a disk system. I think the benefits outweight the costs, but only if you understand the limitations. Have a guy on staff who understands tape and near-line storage and you should be in a good position.
Also, stay away from DiskXttender. I've used that product and it's terrible.
