Firstly, a few years back a simulation was ran pitting the F22 against the EF Typhoon. The F22 came out on top with 4 kills for every loss, hence it is fair to say it is the better plane. However, the F22 costs a whole lot more than the EF Typhoon, thus the EF is more value for money, i.e. you can have several Typhoons for one F22.

Actually, the Raptor doesn't cost that much more than the Typhoon. The Typhoon has a price tag of £67 which comes out to $135 million. The Raptor is just under $138 million or just over £68 million.
