G2 is a much beefier SSD. Even one with only half its channels filled (like the EOL'ed SSDNow V 40GB) it is FAST in small 4k read and writes. A full speed X25 g2 is a beast. If this was a question of the X25M g2 or a Falcon 1, Torqx or Vertex....Id say go with which ever fits your needs best, but a mid grade vs high grade is a tougher call. Where this will be your first SSD, you may not notice the difference as either will be OMFG fast.
If it helps.....(IIRC) someone here on HWC has a N.I.B. or like new Falcon 2 128gb for sale for like 320 shipped. /whistle
