I would lean toward leaving the system alone as long as you can, because the costs are falling. But the key question is ... when do you anticipate having to upgrade for performance or reliability reasons?
Capacity isn't really a problem ... my main driver for this is that I want to upgrade on my own schedule, not one dictated to me by a catastrophic failure.
If the system is on maintenance, then I can count on getting it fixed fairly quickly. If it's not on maintenance, then I either have to upgrade to a new system with downtime and the hassles of dealing with massive hardware changes.
If I upgrade before it fails, then I have the luxury of running parallel and verifying everything works well before pulling the trigger.
