The Vertex3 has gone up in price less??
Well that's all I see

how can the same company the same size be a differant price

tbh, I'd suggest go with the vertex3. I'm running them and they are sweet. I don't however have an agility3 to run a comparison with but various benchmarks I've seen show very similar performance. Only difference I see is the agility looks bling!!

They are different internals http://www.ocztechnology.com/res/manuals/OCZ_SSD_Breakdown_Q3-12.pdf the higher priced one is probably 'better'.

vertex 3 uses better nand than the agility 3. if the agility 3 is more expensive, it doesnt make sense to get it lol

Both have the same Sandforce controller and similar performance, making the vertex3 better vfm. In real life there'll be no detectable difference.
