The pre-release Vertex 3 looks to have excellent performance compared to the others. But we do not yet have a standard release version of the Vertex 3, nor do we have the Sandforce 2XXX drives from G.Skill, Corsair, Patriot.

Personally, I'd never buy an OCZ drive, and I am waiting to see the Sandforce 2XXX drives from the other manufacturers.

But even if you do not feel that way, I suggest holding off on the Vertex 3 until you can see good benchmarks of an actual shipping Vertex 3 before making any final decisions. Just in case OCZ pulled something funny with the pre-release versions.
