Help with an SSD choice

I'm looking for an SSD and I've basically narrowed it down to either a Kingston UV400 or a Sandisk Plus G26, both in the 240gb variety. Thx wallet...

 

Anyway, question is: are they any good and which should I pick?

Because its expensive AF. In fact, even those 2 are already stretching the budget - I was originally going with a 120 gb solution, but those were only marginally more expensive

It's less than $.50 per GB....

*.508, using the current exchange rate.

 

That's besides the point, though. I can't afford an 850 EVO.

But you can buy smaller sizes...?

The 120gb version runs goes for .846 $/Gb, and its also outside of my budget.
