Are you planning on climbing the monopole? We've got a number of wood
poles but servicing them is a PITA when we have to arrange for a man
lift or bucket truck.

The steel pole was at least 35% more in total, because I'd need to pay
for flatbed truck freight shipping separately and then a method of
erecting it (crane), whereas the wood utility pole was sort of a
package price from one local company including the pole itself and
installation at the same time as its delivery. And it would be coming
less than 50 miles from a local firm.
Find out who supplies your local electrical utilities... And google
"wood utility pole classification" for height/diameters and specs for
your RFQ.

What sort of difference were you seeing? Double? Triple? More?

I should mention that the comparison was for
a) paying a utility pole contractor to deliver and install a
treated pole, hole boring etc, 55' of pole above ground level,
set directly into the earth
vs
b) excavation, shoring, re-bar, concrete foundation work etc
for a 55' steel pole

Never ordered one, but have priced them, for 50' to 55' a
thicker-than-normal wood utility pole is considerably less
costly. Could be different in a location that doesn't have
a very large and widespread timber industry (BC, WA).

Has anyone ordered a 40 - 50' lightweight Rohn
Monopole (or other makes for that matter)? What was
the pricing like?
