The speed difference is huge for booting. Speed difference for usage varies depending on what you're doing, naturally. SSD will *never* hurt though.

In the MBP line, Apple overcharges for inferior SSD's of a limited size range. Consequently when we bought Lisa's new MBP earlier this year, we just took the stock HDD and bought an 80 GB Intel SSD (more than she's likely to ever need) and installed it. Upgrading the RAM and/or HDD in the Unibody MBP's is pleasantly trivial.

One caveat to running a Mac on an SSD is that you might want to switch from the default hybrid sleep mode to traditional sleep-only mode. That's probably ridiculous though, since you'd have to be doing some huge number sleep-wake cycles a day to really significantly reduce SSD life.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
