Acer x34p vs z35p vs Alienware AW3418DW

I need your expert help on which 3440x1440 120hz gsync ultra wide monitor is the best bang for buck.

The alienware and x34p are both IPS but quite expensive and the z35p is VA and will save me $300-$400.

Panel type is really the only big difference i can find between the models.

Will the VA be good enough for gaming and general internet use against the IPS?

Is there anything im missing between them?

1 other question: im upgrading from a Benq xl2730 1440p-144hz and i use the blur reduction built in set near minumum strenght. Will i notice a difference loosing this feature to go gsync?

If you're used to blur reduction, you will definitely notice it. Gsync is a thing to eliminate tearing, and blur reduction - to eliminate sample-and-hold motion blur, they are different to eliminate different kind of displays' problems.
Generally, your TN XL2730 with blur reduction creates much less visible motion blur, then any IPS/VA without blur reduction (strobing) tecniques. I believe you will notice it, but how much is that tradeoff for you?
