Just thought Id join in. After my initial post I bought a R600 intake as I was offered a new one cheaper than retail.
In my opinion it is a quality bit of kit, and coupled with the elbow and intake hose the car feels like it pulls stronger, but its minimal and could be placebo.
The biggest downside for me is the lack of noise you get from it. For me there was only a small difference to standard. I was after a more deep induction noise and in that respect would been better off with a open cone induction type like the RamAir or VWR Cup intake.

Yeah the RacingLine Cup Intake is exactly the same filter as the R600, but one its open rather than closed. Both perform great but in hot conditions and when really pushing the car, the Cup intake will suffer from heat soak and you could get power loss as a result. But the Cup edition will give more noise being an open filter.
