Yep I agree. When I bought my mini I went with the spinning disk because I did not consider the SSD price/performance ratio very good at the time. I didn't really need the performance and still do not. But now I agree with Dan since prices have come way down and my experience with SSDs, especially in my little Acer notebook, have been nothing short of astounding. My next mini will have an SSD OS drive if for no other reason than for future proofing.
