Before I go further, it is expensive, but it is fast. I think the gap between those two are small enough for me to swallow...

Two long writeups with test results above. Look in particular at 4k low QD random read. That's why I'm willing to throw the $$$ at it, but couldn't justify the enterprise version released earlier this year.
Pricing in short: US$389 for 280GB and US$599 for 580GB. Yes, that is a LOT more than even the 960 Pro, but depending for the workload, it also gives a lot more than the 960 Pro... I'd argue the low QD random performance is more interesting to consumer/home workloads than sequential or high QD random, and it was the weakness of flash SSDs.
