How does this drive compare against the new Sandforce controller based SSDs?

I read about the Runcore Kylin II, the OCZ Vertex II, MX technology DS Series and the Photofast SVF1 series and all claim to provide some 30.000 IOPS read and write, according to the sites:

Seems to be too good to be true. Did anyone already test these drives in real life applications?
