Serious question, for a consumer does it make any sense to compare SSD benchmarks? I assume the best and worst models give a user an identical experience in 99% of cases, and it is only prosumer activities (video? sustained writes?) which would differentiate them.

Yeah, that's pretty much the case. Cheap SSDs provide good enough performance for desktop use.
