130-140 for more uplifting, melodic and 140-150 for more hard.

Exactly.
You know, people consider 140 BPM to be pretty darn fast, but in my experience (I'm an amateur DJ) even 140 is a little slow! I find that the energy is much better starting at around 141-142.
And like DJ_ALFA said, anything below 137 is pretty boring. I have a mix by Talla 2XLC mixed at 135 BPM, and although the music is good (and it's great to listen to), there's just not enough excitement for dancing!

spinning trance at around 145bpm can put a heap more energy into your set, just listen to ferry corten live at trance enery 30-04-2000!

Just a minute...
I'm going to check right now...the particular song I'm listening to now embodies it well...I think my taste is a little bit faster than normal, I mean, at least as far as dancing is concerned, I like pretty fast so it's almost aerobically hard to dance to. Then again, slower trance like iio - rapture (armin van buuren mix) can be the greatest stuff ever...but I tend to like the faster mixes of things. My favorite dancing trance bpm is...
::counting::
140-150, ah I guess it wasn't so much faster after all...

anything from 125 - 148 depends on my mood.
the deep & dark house tracks sounds good at 125-135 & the tracks with more melody & energy are better at higher BPM

The fastest song I know happens to be 320 bpm, just thought I might add that because it's interesting (though rather unpleasant)...

below 140bpm is not danceable, it won't kick your ass
Paul Oakenfold - Southern sun (DJ Tiësto remix) original bpm was so slow that i'd to pitch it up above 140.
