SSD or Thunderbolt PCI for lap top?

I've just spent a wack of dough upgrading my big pro tools rig to PT10
I'm purchasing an Apogee Symphony and have decided to upgrade my
lap top system as well with PT 10 LE
My rep is trying to talk me into a Solid State drive and a Thunderbolt card as well saying it will make performance incredibly fast and stable and almost rival my big rig for remote recording
this will add about 2k more to the price tag

Do I really need them and how much will they improve things?
feedback will be much appreciated

thanks
