I am thinking about an upgrade, but I am uncertain whether it is worth it to invest in an SSD now, or let the technology ripen for a few more years. I believe the SSD market will expand massively in the coming years, and with that, innovation and development in the field as well, so waiting seems more reasonable at this stage. Any thoughts?

Very simple. In the world of computing, you should always wait.
But you will never use anything, this way.

On the specific of the SSD: get it.
You will feel a difference similar to moving from floppies to hard disks.
Low latency is wonderful, especially on Linux, where programs are not
CPU bounded, so the speed is often disk related.

128 GB could be enough.
Have an additional big disk for data, but put the OS, the apps and the everyday
data on the SSD.
