all the Plextors are great drives, I bought 2 Pro series, But it will be interesting to see what the M5 pricing is. on that note if I was to buy another SSD right now it would be a Pro series without a doubt.
the M5 R/W are 520/390 MB/s which is a little low IMO compared to the M3P.

here is one of my Pros you can look around and compare
