I'd get those as they also have these benefits for 5 quid
- Aluminum Heat-spreader
- Lifetime Warranty

The former IS NOT a benefit... in fact, if you push your RAM, it's a drawback... they are strictly eye-candy. (Heatspreaders originated on RDRAM which had all chips active, thus needing to dissipate the heat... DDR only has 1 chip active at a time, so the heat transfers into chips not in use...) Individual RAMsinks are more efective.
For the extra fiver though, go for the warranty.

That makes no sense, if the heat of the chips is averaged you still have a lower max temp. The heatspreaders on RAM do reduce the temp of the chips, but by how much and whether or not this allows a better overclock are more debatable.
by taking my heatspreaders off my RAM, i get anywhere from 20-75Mhz (depends on the RAM) on the RAM over heatspreaders installed on the same RAM.
If you want to cool your RAM by removing the Heat, use individual ramsinks... they radiate/convect/whatever the heat away, but do not spread it to the other chips. Or have a nice quiet (or Loud in my case) 80mm fan bloxing over the RAM.
