Worth getting a 64gb SSD?

I've seen a good price on a 64gb crucial M4 (£68) but am wondering if it's worth getting a SSD of that size? My computer seems to load fairly quickly anyway (I don't have any bloatwsre installed) - would there be any other noticeable speed improvement?

If you are using a conventional Hard Drive, you'll be amazed at the loading speed and overall system snappiness...

I have OS and regularly used/long loading time programs (Libre Office, Visual Studio, Multisim) installed on my 64GB SSD and the difference is astounding.

Just make sure you move My Docs, Pictures, Videos, Music etc etc to your HDD.

I now have two 64GB SSDs, one in my desktop and one in my Macbook. Both are perfect for running the OS on and anything else goes on the mech drives!
