Interesting thread... I believe that saying 'No' is a valuable skill - not just in consulting, but in life. However, when the word 'No' resonates too loudly with a client -- this compounds over time. If you say 'No' too much, at the time of your next consulting agreement with that client - you may get a taste of your own medicine with a 'No' answer reflected right back at you (i.e. 'No' consulting agreement).
Rather than wrestle with the number of times you have to say 'No', I think it makes more sense to get a little more creative with your next consulting agreement with the client - and enable you to say 'Yes' more often. Then you and the client are happy.
I think the traditional SOW can have this kind of results more often. That's why I like to focus on a Consulting Services Agreement (with a range of services for a period of time) than a SOW.
