This is a pretty good deal- the Samsung 850 pro series is one of the best solid states on the market. http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/ - has highest user rating with benchmarks all in the top categories except value and price which this deal alleviates.
For single drive use in a laptop it's a deal. In a (full size) desktop I'd rather RAID 2 x 120GB budget class SSD costing $40 ea. or go with a 240GB... unless that desktop also has a HDD for bulk storage.
I just bought a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD, from , a few weeks ago, when it was 75. Other than the capacity, how is this SSD comparing (specs-wise) to the one I have ?
Needing just a bit more space than 128 GB. I'm reading 2016 is the year SSD drives will drop to the same or lower price than spinning drives. I can wait another month.

Not going to happen. Not 2016, or even 5 years from now. HD about $25/TB, and SDD now close to $200/TB. Still an 8X ratio. That ratio has compressed from nearly 10X a decade ago, but it's shrinking very very slowly. I'd say in another 5 years the ratio might drop to 5X, but no better. Same price? Not in my lifetime.
