I totally want to, but it all comes down to cost.

I'm a college freshman without a job, using my 2009 Macbook Pro's stock 320GB HDD (275GB used so far). A 256GB SSD is too expensive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&#3...) for me to dip into my savings when my HDD still works (and has more space).

Sure I'd like a faster boot time and for apps to snap open, but I don't know if that's worth $500.
