Based on your recommendation and the Anandtech article, I got a 120GB Vertex for a new install. So far, I love it. I was worried about space, but that hasn't been a problem yet (still have about 25GB free). It is stupidly fast. I hate having to go back to the old disk setup (RAID0 7200RPM drives with a VelociRaptor data drive - 1.3TB in space) because the speed difference is very noticable. Personally, I think it is worth the size limitations and cost for the performance boost.
