sata versus ultra160 using 10k enterprise type drives

I currently use an Adaptec 2100S and some Fujitsu 10K U160 drives. I
am going to a new server (FBSD5) to run in parallel and eventually
replace my FBSD4 server using the adaptec.
I am looking at either a highpoint or promise SATA 4 channel raid
controller and the 36gb western digital raptor 10K enterprise sata
drives (not typical ata/sata type mechanisms). It is much cheaper and
the drives have a similar performance and MTBF rating to the normal 10K
U160 drives.
I was wondering if anyone had any sort of comparison on performance in
a raid 1 or a raid 5 (4 drives) type configuration comparing a typical
U160 setup to the enterprise level SATA setup.
Server use is for web and email serving etc.
thanks
Chad
