I will chime in here, as I have a 7200 RPM 60g Toshiba Travelstar, upgraded from a 10 gig 4200 RPM IBM Travelstar. I cannot say how the 5400 RPM drive would have been, but I cannot fathom having had a slower drive than the 7200 RPM for some of the highly scratch-disk intensive tasks I've completed recently. After looking at the barefeats benchmarks, I would say that if you need to do anything with large graphics files and their scratch-disk-ing applications, go for the faster drive.
