well, the price of raptors comes down as the bigger raptor comes out,
eg: the 32gb raptor came down in price when the 70 gig raptor came out, the 70 gig raptor came down when the 150 raptor came out, and the 150's have come down now that the 300's are out.
an external disk as you suggest would be fine from what I've read and experienced, that said I've seen benifits with things like video editing or "IO" based programs such as DAW's with raptor or fast SCSI disks.
Totally your call.
