I do not own one... yet. But...
To make the system into a development system should not require such upgrades.? Maybe if also intended to be used as some kind of limited benchmark, performance, acceptance test, or proof of concept system? The system has full CPU, which in my experience is what compilers use most. That is, the compilers are not usually resource intensive for either disk or memory. So although the limits on the capable CPW rating due to limitations on features other than CPU could play a role in some cases, I expect that some real life experience may find some variations on the proposed setup by the OP to be quite acceptable. I would always get as much memory as /affordable/; that would be my preferred variation on the originally described setup.

And with the licensing change to concurrent users, with two twelve hour or three eight hour divisions of a day, the five users could enable cost sharing across closer to ten or fifteen people. Of course getting ten versus five people, across varied limited or fixed hours, to get the cost back down, seems already to complicate the original case -- but that did not include ongoing maintenance charges which start ?3 months? in?

Maybe somebody has an actual experience they will share, about their use of such a system only for development. Maybe the lease too.
