Intel 670P, Muskin, Crucial, MSI and some other name brands have had sporadic lows. Back in early Summer the WD 850X 2TB was $89 at WD.com.
I bet 70% of Apple's revenue can be attributed to product differentiation based on storage.
PNY gave me 30-40C in temperature. This Samsung 970 gives me 40-55C.

(whatever it is/was, I never got solid info on what was going on)
... should I still be worried about it?
Also, I got this for $49.99 several weeks ago plus $10 back using Discover Card and it works great!
(So I think I'll wait, but this is still a solid deal and a "thumbs up")

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be proactive and take advantage of the drive being empty to update the firmware, however.
There's no better time for updates than when you first get it.
Most applications simply don't utilize raw throughput without specific use cases, so the on paper numbers are mostly for marketing.
Speeds aside, there's other reasons why you'd want the 970 over the 980.
They run slightly cooler. So if you're putting it in a small form factor device, it won't dump as much heat into the chassis.
Also, many motherboards with multiple M2 slots have NVME Gen 4 as the primary, but the secondary slot might run slower. No point in putting a faster drive in a slower interface.
Now if you already have a SSD for your boot drive then it s a little more complicated. What would you get out of it? Do you have a cheap aliexpress ssd that is nothing more than a usb flash drive hot glued into a 2.5" enclosure? So yeah a couple more questions if that's the case

One heads up I wanted to give people.. the $7 coupon is a promotional credit that is automatically added to your current amazon promotional credit.. so let's say you already had $20 in amazon promo credit prior to placing the order.. the amazon website will FORCE you to use the $20 in promo credit you already had for $27 off the order total regardless of if you want to use your entire promo credit on the order or not.
For some people no big deal, people like me who remember the old days when amazon made the coupon separate from your promo credit and you had a choice, it's rather annoying.
In theory you can call customer service or chat with them online like I did.. in reality chatting with them online is absolutely useless, you get a terrified chat rep (I thought I was being nice I think all amazon employees are just terrified of meeting their unrealistic quotas) who doesn't really want to transfer you to her supervisor and will vainly try every method possible and waste 30 minutes of time before she tries to transfer you to a supervisor.. the chat window will then time out as the supervisor waits for you to type something, and even if you type something it will automatically transfer you to another supervisor who will also time out.. or at least that was my experience today I'm sure it's not that way ALL the time but be aware this can happen.
I had a similar problem with a logitech webcam amazon offered a coupon on and that also took a long time to resolve albeit via phone which is what I would do.. be prepared to waste time as the phone rep frantically tries to resolve the problem on their own, realizes they can't then transfers you to a supervisor who will issue the promo credit you're losing out on back onto your amazon account after watching you place the order (note that it's a promo credit good only towards items sold and shipped by amazon ) .. so if you go that route make sure you have lots of emails to check or other things to keep you busy so it's not a complete waste of time for you
