When it comes to the price of the Vertex 2 it's a bit of a gray area and I'm not sure if MemX will go for the price match. NewEgg has is for $169.99. MemX is selling it for $159.99 though that is AFTER a $40 MIR. Their current price is $229.99 less $40 instant savings for $189.99. I'm not sure if they will price match NewEgg with their before MIR price or their after price. I'm hoping it's their before price as NewEgg is still selling it for cheaper.

MIR are never considered in price match. Just the listed price. So Memex would be $189.99 with the instant savings. So pricematch that with Newegg's 179.99. Then do the MIR after that.

One other issue is that MemEx has the E series and the non E series Vertex II for $159.99. I'm not sure what you can tell from that but one of them may be 25nm and one may be 34nm process. The 25nm ones are regarded as worse IIRC. They will also give you less formatted capacity despite the name of both being 120GB.
115 GB = 107 GiB = 25 nm NAND. 120 GB = 111 GiB = 34 nm NAND
Also, OCZ seems to have a bad rap in terms of reliability of their SSDs or instability but I don't have any personal experience with them. People might just like to badmouth them on forums. The Newegg review for the E series has a lot of people complaining about failed drives though.
