The drive I installed supports all the basics you need (like TRIM). Plus has a 3yr warranty. By then the Intel should be in the sub $200 range.
Storage is the only drawback. However I took my old 500GB drive and put it in a $20 eSata/USB enclosure. I can store all my large files on there. Quickly transfer over if needed.
So the $80 difference with the Momentus XT was not that large in the end.

There's a lot of competition between Sandforce-based SSD drives, which in my experience are much faster in writes and only a bit behind in reads overall. You can find 120GB Sandforce drives for under $200 pretty easily.
