You're right, I probably shouldn't have gone for it but I did, at least, feel happy with my form. I think the difference between the failing and lockout today was mental not physical, the first few times I really wasn't prepared to go for it, that last time I pulled the shit out of that bar and it came up nicely.
However, I definitely intend to slow it down on the deadlifts, especially on the higher rep workouts as I tend to lose my arch as the set goes on.
I should point out that I doubt I'll actually feel any pain (it was more for effect), I may be a bit sore (in the good way) but I haven't actually hurt my back yet, my main weaknesses are my hip flexors/quads, I always strain them when I run.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate your honesty.
