Lion recovery on Mini with new SSD

I need your help guys, I just installed a Crucible M4 128gb SSD on my new 2011 mac mini with a 2.5 ghz processor. I cloned my old HDD onto the SSD using Superduper. It seemed to work okay but it wasn't giving me the start up time I had seen from other SSDs, 45-49 secs. So I decided to press command-R to do a fresh online Lion recovery.
My question is: will this clean out the SSD completely and reinstall Lion as I hope it will or will it add another Lion onto the stuff that was cloned to the SSD?

SSDs do not take well to receiving data from cloning. Always do a clean install.

As for using the Lion Recovery partition, that should work to remove the cloned information and do a clean install. Use Disk Utility from the Recovery partition to erase the drive first and prepare it for reinstallation before downloading Lion.

It's installing right now. I'll see if I didn't mess anything up. I pressed the recovery before I erased anything, will this affect it in any way?

thanks chscag, it seems to be working okay. my start up is about 20 sec and it seems to be running rather quickly through everything.

OK, it seems to have worked well. If you run into any problems later on you can always do a complete clean install as I mentioned above.
