Who is to say that an X25-E wouldn't last 2x the PE rating? And, I believe the 32GB actually has 40GB of SLC as well, meaning its overprovisioned a fair amount out of the box. So, I think testing an E would be a time commitment I'm just not willing to make.

I am trying to get a Plextor though. The first drive I tested was a SF2281 with Toshiba toggle. The Samsung is Toggle NAND, and the a 64GB Plextor would be interesting (Marvell + Toggle) as a counterpoint to the other two drives.
I can't believe that everyone is putting the X25-E as a legendary product Actually my X25-E 64GB is now at 99 (normalized value) MWI with around 10 TiB host writes, 0 reallocation. I guess it's pretty safe to leave it on a server and not having to worry about any swapping between physical memory and virtual memory, if lots of users always keep submitting memory-hungry jobs to make the server run out-of-memory

The Plextor M2P may only come in 128GB and 256GB (but I'm not sure on this). It would be expensive to test on it if there's no 64GB model...
