<<Income at NTAP is growing somewhat faster than that of EMC, but NTAP's P/E is double that of EMC, it would have to be double to justify it.>>

EMC P/E = 68.71
NTAP P/E = 105 (approx 1.5 x EMC)

EPS growth for This Quarter, Next Quarter, This Year, Next Year are:

EMC 40.38% 31.06% 32.25% 27.83%
NTAP 52.94% 43.06% 55.60% 45.31%

EMC current price = approx. $100
NTAP current price = approx. $40

Therefore you can buy 2.5 times as many shares of NTAP for the same price as EMC, and the growth rate is higher for NTAP.

Sounds to me like NTAP is the better deal.
