the momentus xt has a lot of bad reviews from newegg.com, it's like a 50/50, very mixed reviews

Well, if you're going to make an upgrade, you might as well make one that's worthwhile. The minor difference for that $60 you're paying just isn't worth it unless you have a lot of cash to burn.
IIRC, the negative feedback for some of the Momentus XTs were due to mechanical failure because of a few bad batches. In any case, the added cache on the hard drive will make a noticeable difference, albeit not as dramatic as a SSD.
I'm personally still waiting for SSD prices to drop down further before I snag a 128GB one. The last 64GB sped up my UL20A a lot, but the lack of space and having to carry an external HD around was a PITA.
