I got a BX100 already, should I return it to Newegg and get an MX100?

No just keep it, the difference is minimal.

They're pretty much the same performance wise but the BX is newer. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

The BX supersedes the MX. The big difference is the controller. Both Phison and Silicon Motion have new controllers out that are faster than the previous gen controllers. Generally they are also cheaper than either SandForce or Marvell for value priced editions they show up. Since they are newer than something like the Marvell that was in the MX series, they are also faster. Strangely, the new BX is also faster than the new MX200 which is Marvell based as well.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!

The BX100 is measuring faster than the MX100 more often than not. Keep it.
