But the SSD has a lot smaller capacity for a lot more money. I'm not certain the trade of is worth it yet except in certain specific circumstances.
Specific circumstances? You mean like notebooks, where the tolerance of the SSDs to being dropped and their better efficiency would be useful?
Price certainly remains a problem, especially, since there are fewer options for Macs.

Being in a notebook is one thing to consider... but capacity is too. If i am a videographer, i might be more interested in a large capacity HD than fast access. On the other hand if I am a road-warrior, a fast access SSD, giving me quick start-up and even faster access to company data along with lighter weight might be the ticket. But at $1,300 for a 512G SSD when you can get a 1TB HD for $250? That takes a lot of need for that choice.
