The 4R0 X25-M's are doable, in fact they are already done.

GullLars has got the iometer result files for 1-4 X25-M drives and has already created a few graphs.
He'll probably create a separate thread for the graphs.
I was thinking two of the 128GB C300 vs. four of the 80GB X25-M, with data shown on the same graphs (or in the same post), for easy A/B comparison.

You could also do two 256GB C300's vs. four 160GB X25-M's, but the cost isn't as close as the other setup, and I suspect the other one will likely perform nearly as well.

Cost for 128GB C300 (Newegg): $419 * 2 = $838
80GB X25-M: $225 * 4 = $900

256GB C300: $680 * 2 = $1360
160GB X25-M: $425 * 4 = $1700

The size differences don't bother me too much, since I would only use a 64GB partition on the X25-M 80GB drive anyway.
