Graham,
I run the reseller channel for NetApp in the Northeast so I know you'll probably take this as a biased comment. I'm frankly flabergasted. I have three reseller taht have installed more than 8 CF Filers and they're all rock solid!!
I worked for Sun for 10+ years and never encounterred a product as solid as this.

Hello Everyone,
I am about to purchase two F760's w/ Cluster Failover Software and Hardware because we need a system that is 100% available and rock solid. I was
convinced
after talking to other Net App users that this was the way to go. After a week of reading this mailing list, I am no longer convinced.
Remember that people rarely post to tell about systems that never die. I've posted about problems we've had with 2 of our systems - you never hear about the other 35 that have been running without problems for years (including some with uptimes of over a year - and the last documented downtime being because of power failure in the building and UPS's running out of juice).
It's a great list - just be careful how you intepret it :-)
