Checking prices again, lower down the scale I see the 50GB OCZ Vertex 2 Sandforce drive is listed for pre-order @ £176 while you can get a full 80GB of Intel V2 goodness for £188, where the only difference is really the write speed.

What on earth is OCZ thinking? This isn't SLC! For the more cost-conscious low-end market, at that capacity/price it's going to be an extremely hard sell against the known reliable Intel brand leader. Or, looking the other way, against the x25-v which is only marginally smaller for half the price.
