Like, 5 to 10% more in performance (once the drivers are settled, for now it's uncertain) for *twice* the price, a ludicrous cooling system and hairdryer noise ?

What's the relation ?

The 3000+ performs like a 2700+ or a 2800+ if you're generous. The p4 @ 3.6 still has the lead.
as for the prices (here in EU):
Barton 3000+ = 759€
p4 3.06 = 769€
That's not $200 less...

(FYI 1€ ~= $1)
