End of the day the block times won't matter (because of technology) and as a result it WON'T be a distinguishing factor for a better coin. Maybe try to read up a bit more about what the project's stand for.
Block time will matter for the new generation of financial platforms we're starting to see, like Mastercoin, Colored Coins and Counterparty. I'm already seeing complaints that using the Bitcoin block chain is too slow for an exchange or betting. Orders take ten minutes to place and even longer to execute and confirm. I0coin is a great choice for these platforms because it has the speed and security.
sounds like i0coin could be a good platform for these.

Re: [I0C] I0coin - The Best Choice In Digital Currency
Wow! I0coin has a very impressive hash rate. I need to look at this one.
Is it true??
I haven't know the IOC
Yes, it's true. As the description says above "Its network hash rate ranks consistently in the top 1% compared to ALL other crypto-currencies." Just look at its hash rate on vircurex.com, which is 6,500 Tera Hash today, and find ANY other crypto with a higher one and a block time under 10 minutes. You can't find one!!!
We've had some 51% attacks on cryptos, but nothing really sustained across many coins. It's just a matter of time. When it does people will realize how important high hash rates are.
