Sandforce Controller

So, which would you go for out of the two? Research shows that either one are a good buy but want to clear it with you guys first.
Is the intel worth the extra £45? Would you go for another drive completely? Or wait for the later drives to come out? Samsung already have their 840 version out now...
Reliability is key here as the last thing I want to deal with is a dead drive. I know there was a lot going on about SSD's dying but seems that not so much the issue anymore.
Will be used on an i7 920, LGA 1366, 6GB RAM computer. Will store files on my 2TB HD
Any help will be great
Thanks!
