I might go to a 17" model when they drop the haswell update - especially if I could move beyond 750GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

To each their own. Each person should do what they are comfortable with. And if you are religious with your backups, then yes just booting your backup will be the simplest, but I have found that most people aren't that disciplined. Any new songs/work/changes done since the last backup obviously will not be available.
Here's a video showing how to swap out the SDD in a rMBP. Takes about 10-15 mins
Just knowing that once you swap the SSD/HD your setup will be exactly like it was prior to the hardware failure, should have a calming effect, in what can be a very stressful situation.
