Performance looks great for the money especially since you can OEM ones for well under £50 and even the retails one probably won't be over £60.
The X2 240e looks have low power consumption too:

The power consumption of the X4 605e is very impressive too!! Unless Anandtech and Toms Hardware fudged up their figures it is similar to the X2 240e!!
