In case anyone is interested, what I ended up doing is simply moving the larger folders (Documents, Music, Mail, etc.) out of my home folder on the "boot" SSD to a separate "data" HDD, replacing them with symlinks on the SSD. That seems to work well.
I have SuperDuper! run a shell script at completion of the "boot" drive backup which replaces the symlinks on the "boot" backup with ones that point to the same folders on the "data" backup. Also seems to work well.
That said, I'm not sure the modest speed gain of the SSD was worth it in a Mac Pro. Probably much better suited for a laptop.
