It's a night and day difference making the move to SSD from spinning hard drives
You'll never go back to mechanical drives ever again.
You do have to set them up correctly though. There are many things in the OS that you need to disable/check are disabled or performance will suffer and accelerated drive degradation will happen (you can only write to each 'cell' on these drives so many times before the 'cell' dies). Google installing SSD, switching to SSD, etc. to find out about them. Win7 is fairly good about detecting the SSDs on a new install of it and disabling/setting up mostly everything.
I would not keep the page file on the SSDs. Better yet disable the page file if you have enough RAM. If not move the page file over to a mechanical drive. There's no reason to waste precious write cycles on your SSD to the page file.
