Thunderbolt SSD & Standardized SSDs

hi,

have few questions regarding sdds.

please tell me benefits and/or drawbacks of buying thunderbolt ssd, (when become more available) boot , load applications / opposed buying imac internal ssd?

also, if apple standardize ssds in 2012 imac, how cheaper think be, seeing prices have dropped ssds since last may? (obviously total speculation here).
if ssd comes standard imac, prices match current imacs without ssd?

thanks.
