The 840 Pro is a more expensive series than the 840 EVO. In the USA, the Pro is about $35 more expensive.
If you can't get the EVO, look at other brands, such as Crucial or Mushkin.
You aren't likely to notice performance differences between one SSD and another SSD. They are all far superior to mechanical hard drives in access time and overall response. The only brand I would try to definitely avoid is OCZ.
Let us know what SSDs are in your budget range in the 120 GB or 128 GB sizes. Depending on what applications you install, you may be able to do well with a smaller size. My SSD is only 80 GB.
