The $199 Acer is (or at least was when we bought ours) available for the same price with a 320GB HDD or a 16GB SSD. We have one of each.
(I have the HDD for the Linux system, my wife has the SSD.)
We note that while the boot speed of the SSD is impressive, The HDD boot is pretty darn fast, too. More importantly, we have almost never had to reboot these things. Unless the battery goes totally dead, there is almost no reason to.
They both wake from sleep very quickly.
