While it is true that they are faster I wouldnt really say the speed is worth the expense, you could get a nice 250GB 7,200RPM 16mb cache SATAII drive for cheaper. This would be slower but not noticably.
If I had this I would partion the 250GB into a 40GB boot partition with the remainder for data backup, then use the 80GB you currently have as a secondary backup and also have your windows pagefile on it.
