Should I upgrade the RAM in my 13-inch MacBook Pro? (Lion seems to eat a lot.)

Since upgrading to OS X Lion, RAM in my Mac has be disappearing fast. I currently have 4gb and i also do a lot of 3d modeling and rendering. Should I do the upgrade or wait for updates and optimizations for Lion?

I would go for it since 8GB of memory is cheap and it is easy to upgrade yourself.

Actually, it is now $39.99 after rebate on Amazon via the link provided by flackend. $49.99 before rebate! That price can change though. It was $53.99 a day or two ago before $10 rebate.

I have the same memory but paid more for it and it works great in my Macbook Pro.

I was tempted to upgrade but my mac runs fine on what it has.
