The Pro doesn't offer a big performance increase over the Evo especially considering the price increase. SATA III is becoming a huge bottleneck for SSDs, and nearly all high-end SSDs are between 10 or 20 MBps in both read and write between each other.
Evo uses TLC while Pro use MLC, not a big one, although still a performance and reliability + for the pro, if the price difference is a concern. The difference isn't that big. Evo could work as well without any issues. Actually the pro isn't available in Lebanon.
MLC increases the long-term reliability, but as reports say SSDs will achieve price parity with HDDs in late 2016 to early 2017, any SSD (even old OCZ SSDs) will last him till he's able to get a PCIe SSD as his main drive, and a SATA III or M.2 as his storage drive.
