I upgraded my destop and laptops with ssd's and love it. Boot times and loading times are vastly improved.
The disappointment I found with ssd (besides the high cost) is that I didn't get any performance boost in any game. Other than levels loaded up way faster.
An SSD is definitely worth it. I have a corsair SSD currently and it is worth it for the quicker experience. I would not really recommend it for games but for large programs and the OS, an SSD is perfect. I do not see a high enough performance boost in games to warrant an SSD but the opposite is true on the OS and programs.
