In theory, for given throughput CSI PCBs should be significantly cheaper to produce than HT 2.x and about the same as HT 3.0. At the physical layer HT 3.0 and CSI are very similar to each other.
In practice, I'm afraid that both CSI and HT 3.0 motherboards would aim for much (3x or 4x) higher interconnect throughput than HT 2.x and as result would end up more expensive.
