For riding in the UK, unless you only ever go out in bone dry weather, then they probably will last twice as long. Sintered aren't as quiet but will work consistently.
In saying that, I did the KLMTB race at Thetford and destroyed a pair of pads in the rear in 1 lap due to the sand/mud mix and a slightly bent rotor. They had only done 3 dry rides before that. I'm trying out the überbike sintered pads - £7 a pair or £23 for 4 pairs with free postage.
