Which SSD to buy?

Hi,
I'm wanting to buy a new SSD for my laptop.
I've been looking at the OCZ Vertex 4 - 128gb, but i'd appreciate some input from you as to which you think is the best for price.

I'm not too fussy on the size of the SSD as I only need it for games + OS.

I'm looking to spend around £100 however I can stretch the extra £20-£30 if it is worth the gains in speed/reliability.

Thanks

Looking at the specs of it, it says 220mb/s write speed - comparing that with the Vertex 4's of over 400mb/s it seems low.

I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to this but is there any reason why you recommend the M4 over the Vertex 4?

Read speed tends to be more important than write, the M4 gets goods performance and realiablilty, I run one in my system.
