Aren't they just a pretty case with an OEM drive in them?

The difference isn't that great.
Based on today's price list of my local retailer (in AUD, but it may as well be USD) the cost per gig of a WD SATA 750GB is 18c; a WD 1TB SATA is 19.5c. This is for OEM 3.5" drives in an anti static bag, no external case or retail box.
To the OP: if capacity is important then it might be worth waiting for drives larger than 1TB. I've seen a couple of articles that say they're not that far off being released.
