Dave, you can go straight to Mountain Lion (10.8), bypassing Lion. You buy it through the App Store application, it downloads (took about 8 hours over my DSL line), and you install from the downloaded application.
You likely won't notice any appreciable changes speed-wise from Snow Leopard, at least I didn't If anything I thought some things sped up a bit, and it appears to be a little lighter on RAM use. It also enabled downloading a few updates for iLife apps that weren't available under Snow Leopard. There are a couple of UI changes that you can adjust to your taste in the Preferences. $19.95 is a pretty cheap upgrade. I went with it so I'd be ready for LR5.
