Crucial MX300 750GB or Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, which should I use?

As the title says, I have both of these drives brand new. I'm not sure which one I should use and which one should I sell. A couple of thoughts:

1.) I know that the Samsung has 2 years more warranty than the Crucial but does it even really matter with SSD's?
2.) I also know that the Samsung is faster than the Crucial but is it recognizable in real world scenarios or just in benchmarks?
3.) I'm not sure if which I would prefer between speed and capacity.

I want to hear your thoughts on this matter so as to come up with a practical choice. Thanks

What the heck! How come the 750's are discontinued and the 525's are not? I've bought 5 x 750's and I'm planning to sell 4 of them.

I seriously don't know how that's a thing, maybe the 750gb models were test runs or something. The 525Gb are there "to stay" whatever it means with crucial.

They will probably stop selling them in 2 months and give you cockroaches in a box when you try to RMA your SSD.

Seriously go with samsung if you're still hesitating that's what I'd do now, been using crucial for years and can't believe where they're going.
