Its a lot closer than I remember, but not quite as bad as that.

32GB adata SSD is ~$175+GST   (cheapest model, not necessarily good)
32GB S592 SSD is around $250+
80GB Intel X25-M 2.5" SSD ~$500+
32GB Intel X25-E Extreme 2.5"SSD  ~$800ish

16GB adata "speedy"  CF card is around $90+

You can pay an awful lot more for a sandisk or other name-branded CF.
