Should I look at getting a different SSD?

So I pre-ordered a NP9130 (P151EM) from XoticPC, of which is going to be confirmed today. My question lies in my SSD solution I currently have for my desktop.

I have this SSD, the Corsair Force 3 90GB.
Newegg.com - Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F90GB3-BK 2.5" 90GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Should I just go ahead and install it in my NP9130? or should I really look at other SSDs?

Currently I have about 35Gb free of my allocated 83GB. Only things I have installed is:

Win 7 Ult
Office 2010
BF3
COD MW3
COD BO
Half Life 2

If that particular SSD has been solid for you, theres no real world performance to be gained from another SSD at the moment. Any improvement you notice will be minimal.

The only reason to upgrade is if you need more space. As long as an SSD has TRIM, real-world speed should not significantly differ between models.
