Amazon has lowered the price of 960 EVO 500GB to €176 which brings it's cost per GB down to €0,35/GB which again comes out 24,3% cheaper vs €0,44/GB(€220) for the 970 EVO 500GB.

Just for those interested. I would say €176 for a 500GB Samsung 960 EVO is a "great" deal.

Just because it's new, I really want a 970 Pro. But, my 960 Pro is a tad over a year old so I'll not upgrade and chalk it up to money wisely saved.

The 960 EVO 1TB can be had for €356 which comes out to €0,35/GB vs €0,43/GB(€429).

edit: The 960 EVO 500GB comes out €0,38/GB vs €0,44/GB for the 970 EVO 500GB.

But obviously the 970 EVO was just released so it commands a 14%(€27) price premium for the 500GB model and 20%(€73) for the 1TB one.

As I went from a 950 PRO 256GB to a 960 EVO 500GB recently, I'm inclined to say nill difference noticed in day to day usage.
Well ive just bought a second Samsung 960 512gb but this time i got an evo to go next to my pro....£145, in the grand scheme of things a couple hundred mb/s is no biggy.
