Can you link to a review that shows how the Vertex 4 crushes the 830? Every review I have seen (including the one linked in this thread) states that this is not the case.

The Vertex 4 crushes the 830. Don't get caught up in max performance numbers. It's all about sustained performance and access times. My MBP cold boots in under 10 seconds because of the low latency.
