I personally like the 1 port version, and for one simple reason: non-RAID drive size. The 1 port version offers 6 DDR2 slots (in the pictures anyway), and @ 2GB/stick density (best bang for your buck right now) 12GB vs 8GB is - to me - a huge difference in usability. Plus being cheaper is a bonus.

Would I buy it? With a faster controller - yes, undoubtedly. As it stands though the controller speeds just aren't enough for my excessive e-peen requirements which is why I'm eyeing a regular 2-port 9010 and 2x 4GB ECC sticks of DDR2-5300 (and hoping to all get out that the prices on those sticks drop dramatically as time goes on). We'll see whether I end up pulling the trigger or not, Nehalem-EP is right around the corner and I may need to see prices on motherboards for that first.
