11" MacBook Air SSD Upgrade

My current system is a Late 2010 11.6" MacBook Air that I absolutely love!  The size, the weight, the snappiness of the system, I just love it.  Combined with my 24" Cinema LCD at home or 27" Cinema LCD at work and it's spectacular.
The system currently has a 128GB SSD drive, of which I'm using 90GB now.  Although I'm not that close to capacity fo the drive, I was curious if there were any upgrades possible as I know it's pretty much all soldered together.  Turns out that the SSD is user replaceable and is really easy to upgrade.  Note that I haven't upgrade it yet, but Other World Computing (OWC) has upgrade kits along with video guides for installation.  The whole process looks like it would be a no brainer, for the day that I need to upgrade.   You can watch the short video on how to do this at http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbook_air_11_2010_ssd_h/
