Im buying my mac right now and it asked me if I wanted to make any upgrades. Would spending an extra 90$ dollars be worth it for a 7200rpm hard drive? And will it decrease battery time and make it hotter?

Really not too much at all if you're not doing any gaming or anything. Buying the 7200 over the 5400 literally takes milliseconds off the amount of time it takes to save something.
