Add to that the point that your 240G drive will contain significantly

My guess would be a 240 has 256 physical capacity. I just bought a 160,
which I'm guessing is really 192.

The speed is wonderful, and while I no longer see Mr Speed's comments
SSD lifetimes are no longer an issue - the wear levelling algorithms
take care of it for any reasonable lifetime. Unlike a thumb drive,
which doesn't usually have any.
