Tempting, but feels like I'd barely notice the difference over 8gb. Especially when if I was to build a new PC in the next few years it wouldn't use DDR3 anymore.

Looks good memory and I would have been tempted with this if I had not just bought some, but also it looks too tall to fit under my processor heat sink.
WORTH CHECKING MEMORY WILL PHYSICALLY FIT INTO YOUR PC BEFORE BUYING AS THIS IS NOT THE MORE COMPACT VARIETY (A LOT HIGGER THAN MOST).
Hot as a very good deal for memory with great reviews.

Did you see how tall this memory is? Can't seem to find the information online.

Great advice. I had to remove the heatsinks on some corsair vengeance to get it to fit under my cpu cooler. It works fine without as it's basically just for decoration but obviously this voids the warranty. Corsair are probably the worst on honoring warranties at the best of times so no chance.
The 2400 at CL11 should be faster. The actual performance difference you'll see is marginal depending on how the application uses ram: http://techbuyersguru.com/does-ram-speed-matter-ddr3-1600-vs-1866-2133-and-2400-games?page=2. Probably better off spending the price difference elsewhere.
I believe corsair actually has a UK rma address now also in Scotland. Crucial have way better customer service though.

Think the Crucial posted earlier is a better deal: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/crucial-ballistix-elite-ble2cp8g3d1869de1tx0ceu-16gb-kit-8gb-x-2-ddr3-pc3-14900-2444900
As lucifon said, any new PC build wouldn't be DDR3 so it seems poor value to pay 25% extra (£57.99 / £46.18) for the extra speed. The Crucial is CL9 vs CL11 so not sure if the speed difference is that big anyway. Also, if something goes wrong in a few years, Crucial's RMA address is in Glasgow, while AFAIK Corsair is in the Netherlands. EDIT: still voted hot though

With an AMD APU this will give about 25% noticeable improvement in rendering speed, so it's a bit niche, but worth it if you can't upgrade your GPU.
