Don't think there is a real difference besides the quality of materials.

Will that be noticeable in a photoshoot, or is white just white?

Yeah white is just white, I'm sure they have that one right, there will probably be some difference when comparing side by side because of the way a material behave but I don't think it will be noticeable.
I've only used such light cube once so don't take me on my words, I'm not an expert.

Wouldn't a purpose built one for £10 be better? Apart from having multiple colour slides, there wouldn't be a texture on the fabric?

I recently bought one of these photo tents via ebay and it does seem to work quite well. We use it for photographing things for ebay.
It came with red, blue, black & white back-clothes and a front closure with a slit in it. The back-clothes are a bit thin and because they are folded are creased. I've not yet had the courage to see if these creases can be removed with a cool iron. (I would need to sign-up for a training course).
I also bought, but not from ebay, a pair of daylight lamps to illuminate it.
The tent & back-clothes came in a smallish, flat, round bag and as the tent has a spring frame it sort of explodes into shape when unpacked .
It did not come with any instructions, particularly on how to get it back into its bag .
However a Google search found some instructions here. Even then it takes practice and is the subject of some hilarity in my household .

The only down-side was that the back-clothes are made of the same material as the tent so are a bit thin and look a little shiny although this has not caused any problems.
