It's the Kingston that's cheaper. If the OCZ was cheaper I would have just got them without bothering to ask.
8GB [2x(2x2GB)] Kingston HyperX: £79.98
8GB [2x(2x2GB)] OCZ Platinum: £103.38

You mention a difference in the timings, but you don't mention what the stock frequency is, only that you're running it at 1600. I haven't really paid much attention to anything to do with DDR3, so I'm not sure what speeds are available, but if 1600 is the stock & you've only changed the timings, then you haven't overclocked it, you've underclocked it. With the frequency higher is faster, but with timings lower numbers are faster than higher numbers.

As would I, except for the price difference. What I want to know is does anyone think that the Kingston is not worth the saving of £23.40?
