First off, I'm in New Zealand, so pricing is probably a little different over here compared to most other places.
Second, I'm looking to get an SSD mainly for performance reasons. I expect to have my OS or OSes (at least Windows 7 x64, maybe a *nix partition as well), Adobe CS6, Visual Studio, and a handful of games on it. However, media of any variety just keeps getting larger, so I do consider more space to be an advantage.
My budget is approximately $250NZD, but I'd rather be a little under that. The two options I'm looking at are the Intel 335 240GB for around $235NZD and the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB for around $210. I'm not sure whether to go for worse performance (AFAIK) and about twice the space or not.
A rough idea of prices over here can be found at http://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?l=s112781863&o=produkt_pris_inkmoms#rparams=l=s112782517 (it should load some filters if you have Javascript enabled - I'm not interested in drives under 100GB), and I'm willing to listen to any other suggestions people might have.
