[quote] I don't see any value in the mocked ones UNLESS the integration tests are really very very slow[/quote]
Exactly.
The goal is to achieve high ratio of Coverage/Test lines.
If the test is too slow, then you can often break it down in several small test or using a mock for a part you don't care for this specific test.

In my recent projects, I used heavily azure storage. The whole difficulty of the code was to design azure table right, and having good RowKey and PartitionKey. By mocking it I would have just skipped the most difficult part of the project.
And there is NO DOWNSIDE to just use the real deal in the tests. As long as the test is fast and repeatable, what is the problem ?
