It might depend on your workload. Min's presentation at FAST 2012 suggested SSDs have performance and reliability issues with random write workloads. I'd guess there are pathological workloads that chronically cycle between disk and SSD. Auto placement has to set the hysteresis just right to avoid such. Nothing trrumps testing actual equipment with actual workloads.
