Sure it was nice having ~400MB/s+ (not sure what speed it actually ran at) but I didn't do a lot of work that truly utilised the top-speed of the SSD, so the performance differences were pretty moot. For me, the top-end drive speed difference didn't mean all that much, because primarily I was after the low seek speeds.

I also found some vendors saying that (at the time) the Intel 330s were seeing less RAs than some other similarly priced brands I was looking at this may or may not be the case right now, and I was only able to compare a few brands.
