The difference between a spinning disk and a solid state disk is significant regardless of iPod model. If you're doing this just to improve battery life, you'll have to be willing to take a storage size hit (from 100+GB to something like 32GB or 64GB if you're willing to pay more). That's the biggest downside to this mod. Also, I don't know that doing a long-playing battery life test on my iPod would be worth it as it's fairly old and I'm guessing the battery has lost some of it's capacity over the years of use.

I am considering doing this mod myself, but I would like to find out if changing the drive in the sixth generation ipod will yield the same boost as it did in the fifth generation (as seen here: http://www.tarkan.info/20070826/tutorials/apple-video-ipod-battery-life-compact-flash/all/1) Alternatively, you could install the last.fm scrobbler and look at the start and end times of the first and last tracks on the iPod. The results would be very much appreciated :) If possible, could you please do a test to see how many hours of continuous play the iPod gets with the flash memory?
