Indeed. 
I've downloaded the full set of England and Wales, at least (sadly I don't get up to Scotland much these days) and they fit nicely on my 64Mb card. I can vouch for their accuracy, at least on spot testing. 
Kudos to David Storey who generated the entire UK contour maps from NASA's publicly available SRTM data.

Who needs to pay £140 extra for hill contour data?

I was really surprised when Garmin launched their contour data product.
