Crucial M500

I was going to buy the Crucial MX100, but when I looked where I used to shop I found out that they don't have the MX100, only the M500. Is the M500 serie still good or is it more worth buying the MX100 online and waiting for it to arrive? From what I've seen there's not much difference in them both, Marvell and other stuff.

In large file transfers and such the MX100 is 25% to 40% faster.

I would get the MX100.

Alright, so what about the HyperX Fury 120gb and the Intel 530 Serie 120gb. At the place I stuff they have really good price, is the MX100 still worth the extra waiting time?

the M500 is slow (for a SSD at least) but reliable

The HyperX Fury would be better than the M500 but worse than the MX100.
