Lately there has been a debate about which is the better RAD MVC web framework for PHP5, or Symfony. Symfony has that nice object ORM layer set-up reducing the SQL query code you have to manually create.
Both have helper scaffolding code generators. I think you would have to measure the cost savings in not having to do so much SQL code in using Symfony against the possibility that the helper scaffolding in Symfony might not cover a functionality that you might need that CakePHP covers.
Obviously, if both CakePHP and Symfony cover in their helper scaffolding cover functionality that you need than Symfony than would have the edge due to that ORM layer that they have for generating SQL code.
