For me the SSD is all about multitasking. Also if you have an SSD as your main OS drive make sure you run through all the tweaks that are available to ensure that you don't write more than needed to the disk.
Also if your worried about data loss like I am, the best thing to do is setup the SSD with your OS, have all your browsers sync their data/bookmarks/etc and put all your documents on a RAID5 array. I have 4 500GB disk providing 1.3 TB of space. Also this provides redundancy in the event of hardware failure.
