I'm going to say, don't believe the hype when it comes to solid state drives. Faster, yeah, but I don't think they are worth the extra headache. I wish I would've just bought tons of gigs in WD blacks or spinpoints when they were cheap, instead of jumping on the SSD bandwagon.
I am very pleased with the Intel drive for the most part, but (big surprise) W7 just isn't ready for them.
Save your money, don't believe the hype. Until MS gets out of the dark ages they aren't worth the trouble.
I should add this is from a hobbiest/gamer point of view. I am sure they are plenty worthwhile for people using computers for work, and things like graphics rendering. For us casual users, it's a different story. I just wish someone had told me (or I had listened) before I spent my hard-earned money.
