120 will cripple you in the long run. 250 gb is pretty inexpensive insurance that you'll have enough space to extend the life of your computer. I think it's about $100. A 120 gb SSD is about $60.

Given the price difference, for my money, the best value is the 250 gb version.

You should get a happy drive :D

That said, 120GB would do, but I'd go for a 240GB or larger for improved performance.
