Unless you really need the 7200 RPM you should be able to get a lot more capacity for that price. Newegg has 1 TB firewire drives starting at $113. That said, other than price I've had nothing but good experiences with OWC products. Here are a couple drives:

Newegg has the 1TB version for $140 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136172 I wouldn't worry a whole lot about fireweire 400 vs 800 since most drives can't pump out more than 40MB/s these days.
