Thanks very much for the FUD-debunk, it's always great to get advice from someone who has thoroughly kicked the tires of something. I may start considering it once again.
Would you mind sharing what kind of small-block IO/sec numbers you've seen from the EBS's? My app tends to generate lots of IO with not a huge amount of cacheability, and it has a relatively small dataset, which is why I'm considering SSDs in the first place.
