I am looking for a great set of kitchen knives in the $125 range. Any suggestions?

I am having trouble deciding on the knives I want to get. I was leaning towards Henckels synergy or everedge. However, I was a little turned off by some of the reviews I've read. Henckels are great knives, but apparently their lower end knives are really low end. So, I should start considering different brands. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could you please list some pros and cons with your suggestions? Thanks
