Dunno... $500 for 30 minutes of fun work?

To be fair, I did this upgrade and actually ended up wasting several hours because the first SSD failed after a few weeks.

Right...so $500 + the risk of having to spend hours to deal with problems rather than taking it to an Apple store and having them deal with it (assuming you live close enough to one).

Obviously, the tradeoffs are different for everyone.
