The 255 Music is $300 (and comes in black)
The 265 is always $360 on Garmin with the 20% off Optimity discount. It's essentially a 255 Music but with an OLED screen (and Training Readiness metric).
The new 165 also has an OLED screen but is geared exclusively to runners, so it's missing a lot of features from the 255/265 (ie. no multisport mode, no power meter support, etc.). Watch a DCRainMaker or DesFit review for further break down.
I had the 255 Music before returning for a 265. They've both continued to get software updates adding some new metrics that aren't covered in the original reviews and are great multisport watches alongside the more premium 955/965; the days of needing a Fenix/Epix for triathlons are over. Obviously buy from REI since they have a 90 day return policy for members.

This info is a bit too ambiguous - Does anyone know if I can download my MP3s directly from my computer to this or do I need to use one of those accounts? Also are there specs on the actual harddrive size?
I need to get a running watch primarily to monitor my pace in real time. I wasn't looking for a watch to replace my phone (I frequently use it to view maps, take photos, or make calls while out running) but would consider the music version if the specs are right.

You can copy mp3 from PC to the watch itself

If you have been in the market for a smartwatch, I highly recommend this line.
