Karl,

Would this work?  If so it should save you a ton of money and a lot 
of work work.

Use just enough floor leveler to make sure the slab is smooth and 
level.  Then lay your tile.

This will leave you with something like a 1-1/2" mismatch.  You can 
then get a piece of wood and make a transition
plate to cover the lip.
