Crucial M4 vs Corsair Force GT

I'm thinking of getting a SSD as my C drive is pretty much full. I have narrowed my search down to these two and was wondering what would be better for hosting the OS. All my games and stuff are on my 1TB Samsung F3 and my older 250GB HDDs but since bother are pretty much the same price and near enough neck and neck in benchmarks what would be the best one to get?
 
Crucial M4. I believe that it has had fewer issues than the SF-based Force GT (although the newest FW for it may make it more reliable - only time will tell)
 
Out of those two I would recommend an m4. Although the Samsung 830 is about the same price as the m4 so that warrants consideration.
 
What size SSD are you looking to get ?

newegg apparently has the 80GB intel 320 on sell again for $1/GB ($79.99 After promo code and $50.00 MIR) promo code: EMCYTZT1061

I'd like 120GB preferably. But it seems the M4 and Force GT are good and bad in certain areas. The Force GT seems best for being used for general storage whereas the M4 looks better for holding the OS. It seem to load windows, scan and moving files faster or so certain reviews say.

I have a Corsair 120GB Force GT that is has Win 7 on it and it runs perfectly. I highly recommend the drive.
 
The ForceGT has sync-NAND, which will perform well even as the SSD gets nearly full. I am not sure about the M4. I have both, and both work well for my non-crazy uses.
