I just put a 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 in my early 2011 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro with 16GB Ram. It is absolutely ridiculous; everything is instant. An SSD is the best thing you can do to your computer if you are looking for significant performance gains. I've built tons of systems throughout my days and done tons of performance upgrades and tweaks. Never have I seen such an immense performance boost from any component like that of an SSD upgrade. Once you use a machine with an SSD you soon realize how much HDD are holding everything back. All of the sudden your machine boots in just a few seconds (especially OS X machines), Apps launch instantaneously, and the entire system is cooler and quieter. One major factor that was previously holding me back was losing all that storage space that comes with HDD, however, with iCloud, iTunes Match etc. I found that 240GB of storage was more than suffice and cloud storage is only going to become more prevalent. So if you were thinking about dropping some cash on a brand new machine first consider upgrading to an SSD. I promise you, your old machine that you once thought was getting old and clunky will feel like a brand new system.
