JakeL,
so, what did you decide on ?
BTW, one thing that I just thought of ... if your company does large scale renders (animations / movies etc.) then take into account the costs of adding render nodes. I've been using LightWave (primarily, ZBrush / 3D Coat / trueSpace on occasion) and one thing that I've found very positive is that it allows you to install a huge number of rendernodes without additional cost.
I only use it as a hobby, but even I have set up my multiple PCs at home to work as a renderfarm (my quad-core PC even has multiple render tasks running). All in all, I have 7 active rendernodes (which cuts down on rendering time quite a bit ;)).
Just my 2cents worth ...
Cheers,
Andreas
