Miami is more expensive than Tampa. A lot more expensive. You'll pay more for your condo and you'll pay more to vacation there in parking, food, and entertainment.
If money isn't an issue, then the question becomes what are you looking for? Tampa, itself, doesn't really have a beach. The beach communities are at least 30 minutes away in Pinellas County - St. Petersburg Beach, Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, etc. However, Tampa has proximity to some of the best beaches in the State (Ft. De Soto, Clearwater Beach) and some great off-shore parks. I'd give Tampa a strong edge over Miami in natural/outdoor attractions.
Tampa doesn't have nearly the same cultural opportunities as Miami as far as art galleries, restaurants, or nightlife. Tampa has a lot of family oriented activities - Busch Gardens, the Florida Aquarium, Lowry Park Zoo, MOSI, and Orlando is only 90 minutes away.

I would buy in Tampa....and I did. I have been to Miami many times & I love to visit but Tampa is a much better place to live for several reasons. I think the main reason is simply that because of where Tampa Bay is located it is far less likely to get hit by a hurricane. I've lived here in Tampa Bay area for 22 years. I am raising my 4 sons here and we have never had any issues with crimes or gang violence. The Beaches here are beautiful. The people here are excellent. I could go on for pages.
