25nm SSDs. Are OCZ using IMFT?

I can see OCZ Vertex 2 25nm editions for sale here in the UK. Rumours are that they use IMFT memory. On one hand, it seems strange that Intel and Crucial are letting OCZ retail it before them but they could also be using OCZ to test the water. Those chips could also be very early samples (might explain the similarity of performance and price to their 3xnm counterparts)

Has anyone seen, bought or tested these drives yet?

Today: Toshiba 32nm Toggle NAND, Tomorrow: IMFT 25nm
The Vertex 3 Pro sample I received is a drive rated at 200GB with 256GB of NAND on-board. The SF-2682 controller is still an 8-channel architecture and OCZ populates all 8 channels with a total of 16 NAND devices. OCZ selected Toshiba 32nm Toggle Mode MLC NAND for these early Vertex 3 Pro samples however final shipping versions might transition to IMFT 25nm. The consumer version (Vertex 3) will use IMFT 25nm for sure.
