Make sure the old vinyl isn't asbestos if you haven't already. If it is it will cost you a fortune to remove it. Best to just let it stay and put the new flooring over the vinyl.
As far as cost goes it's not really comparable. Installing cheap tile costs as much as installing expensive tile. Vinyl is relatively cheap to install (as mentioned it's the ripping out that's expensive). Vinyl though won't increase the value of your home, even if its top of the line, so long term installing a neutral, but nice looking, title is a better investment.
