RAM speed makes very little difference to overall performance, a modern processor with basic 1333MHz RAM will usually perform to within 1-2% of one using fancy 2000MHz low-latency stuff for most tasks. Fast RAM is mostly just a 'my number is bigger than yours' game.
Well thats upto them and I won't comment on them been biased.
All I know is OcUK would never de-list a product because we were more expensive, its never happened in the history of OcUK and its certainly something not about to happen. Even more so when said competitor does not even have stock and from discussions with Intel it looks remote that they will get stock or enough in a timely fashion.
The only time I'd ever de-list stock would be because we can't get stock for months so would rather not list than mislead customers into buying when cannot deliver in a timely fashion or if a manufacturer request us to do so due to an NDA or a fault with the product.
In the case of these CPU's its just down to NDA, I have 1000 of the bad boys in stock and I shall get myself a pyramid built and photo taken to prove so later.
Plus the fact why would we ever de-list even if were more expensive when something is selling like hot cakes, look at threads on this forum for proof of how many people ordered.
So yeah the article is in-accurate. I await to see threads on the net appearing next week that I ordered from such etailor and still not recieved my order, I feel sorry for anyone that happens too.
And now we know who supplies him some freebies
Tbh, the article looks like sour grapes.

It's the best review I could find it should answer any questions you have
Seems the only benefit for me is the better onboard network chip on the pro, not really worth the extra ££ though so base model it is.
The way I see it, certain competitor thinks we will be clever, break NDA launch early and we shall get loads of internet exposure and get loads of money in our bank from people placing orders.
Then Intel get involved, ourselves and many other Intel covered customers kick off big time, now said etailor is in jeopardy of getting no stock at all so they go sulking and as such articles like that appear.
Its simple follow NDA's stick to them within reason and the manufacturer will want to work with you and allow you to make good profits and be competitive.
Work against a manufacturer you risk getting little to no stock and you never make any money at the same time.
Thats why OcUK and other big players stick to NDA's mostly and work closely with manufacturers and cherish those relationships.
