Abstract: We study the presence of copies of $l_p^n$'s uniformly in the spaces $\Pi_2( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ and $\Pi_1( C[0,1] ,X)$. By using Dvoretzky's theorem we deduce that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then $\Pi_2( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ contains $\lambda\sqrt2$-uniformly copies of $l_{\infty}^n$'s and $\Pi_1( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ contains $\lambda$-uniformly copies of $l_2^n$'s for all $\lambda>1$. As an application, we show that if $X$ is an infinite-dimensional Banach space then the spaces $\Pi_2( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ and $\Pi_1( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ are distinct, extending the well-known result that the spaces $\Pi_2( C[ 0,1],X) $ and $\mathcal{N}( C[ 0,1] ,X) $ are distinct.
