looks sweet~~ my new mbp has the exact same specs, which will be delivered tomorrow.
 
My low-end 15" MBP is being delivered on Tuesday. My Maxupgrades optibay is on the way and I already have my 120GB Intel 320 SSD. But, for as infrequently as I shutdown/startup my computer, and for the limited number of programs that I actually use on a frequent basis (Chrome, Itunes, Mail, Office, Accordance, Photoshop, iphoto, imovie...), I'm starting to wonder whether the SSD will actually be that much of an upgrade for me. :confused:
 
just tested my late '08 macbook pro with an expresscard 48gb ssd. 24.1 seconds from power button to the desktop up. pretty, pretty, pretty good.
 
I just got my 17" with just the stock 750MB drive and it boots in 25 sec. I'm going to put my Crucial C300 256MB SSD in it this weekend. It better be a lot faster than 20 sec when I'm done! :D

Let us know how it turns out, I myself am hoping you get a flawless install with none of the aforementioned compatibility issues some are reporting.

25 seconds with the stock drive seems pretty quick. I just installed a C300 64GB and am getting ~12 seconds from chime to desktop.
